Default Is My T3 Turbo blowing out my SPARK from the spark plugs??

I think my turbo is blowing out my spark, I have a much upgraded Fuel System.
When the Car is at normal temperature, And start to get into boost mode,4-5000 RPM. my car seems to "misfire", it will make like a TATATTAT sound. Like a machine gun. I am using OEM NGK plugs with an unmodified Plug Gap. MSD 6A box along with a Blaster 2 coil.
Any Info or Suggestions????
Thanks.

Default BK

Never Mind, I just figures out the answer: BKR7E-11, is VSPARK; BKR7E(S)-11 is Standard. So many spark plug type, should I get the BKR7E-11 or the BKR7ES-11

I've been experiencing the sme problem for some reason just recently. Get into boost and the car seems to lose power and seems to misfire. I threw a P1123 code (short-term fuel correction too low) and went to like 10:1 AFR.

I will try going to a colder plug, but with only 50% more power than stock I don't think I need it?

Well since you say get the VPOWER, which is BKR7E-11... Those come as .44 gap. SO the question is are the VPOWER gaps adjustable just like the normal ones. im trying go get a .38 gap or so.

Well, I rechecked the plugs, spark plug wire continuity, and my wiring for the S-AFCII and the MSD DIS-2, and it didn't fix it. Turns out, I simply miscalculated the low-throttle fuel correction with the AFC. My stock injectors are 15# and I am using 19#, so I figured I would need (15/19-1)*100 or -21% correction.

But this didn't work, and my ECU (an OBDII) was maxing out the short-term fuel correction to try to make the engine run stoich. This is what caused the trouble code and the misfiring.

After a couple test runs I found that -10% across the low-throttle correction worked fine. I am still using -15% for the high-thottle, though. (With the OBDII I am unable to really tune the low-throttle, but it doesn't matter since boost comes at high throttle anyway, and the ECU can correct for several pounds of boost when cruising. I don't know why so many Honda guys switch to OBDI) The car runs like a champ again.
