    Heeere I go again causing trouble for myself...massive studdering problem

    First, thanks for checking out this thread. I have been trying to find the time to regap my plugs since I tossed in my ebc so that I could take care of what I THOUGHT was spark loss at higher RPMS when 12+ psi would hit. I pulled my plugs and saw that they were at abooout .044 and was reading from several different people that a gap of .032 is solid for 9Bs pushing 14 psi; therefore I closed the gap today. All of my plugs are now at .032 but now that studdering that I felt at 12+ psi happens in lower RPMs and at anything close to 6 and up. The car held steady boost even with the studdering but I have not been able to check for a boost leak yet (one day off sure wasn't enough to do everything on my list ).

    What the hell might be going on here? The plugs, wires and motor have 17k miles on them, but I have not replaced the coil packs so unknown mileage on those guys. Is .032 too close of a gap and I am a fool for doing it? If that's the case then what should I put the plugs at to get the most out of my turbos?

    I am using NGK Iridiums...do people commonly have problems with these? The wires are MSD. I am hesitant to go to copper plugs because of their ridiculously short lifespans but if those get me where I want to be I would be happy to swap them out. Any ideas?

    Ah...I also have a log that doesn't look too out of the ordinary from previous logs that I have done but I am still trying to learn how to read them. I turned my EBC off (profec spec II) so that I will only be rocking low boost until I can figure this out.

    Thanks for any pointers and tips in advance, guys. Please see the attachments for the logs.
