plugs? ignition system???
i'm wondering what plugs/ or what type of ignition system are you guys running with bigger turbo's?? i'm having problems with misfire @ 19psi with bpr7es's otherwise a stock ignition with a t3/t67 t350 .63ar turbo
thanks for the input
my logs don't show any dips as far as misfire or jumps in knock so it's real slight but i can feel it...

Also check out Bushers web site they have upgrades also. So do a few other vendors like shearer ect.

I wouldn't bother. Try BPR8ES gapped to .22-.24. Sometimes I will foul mine out and I will get misfire at high rpms and then I just change them out and I'm good again for quite a while. I have AEM as well and stock ignition.
As a temporary measure try gapping your plugs to 24. You may want to switch to 8's as mentioned, but that's more related to cylinder temps. Check your EGTs with a good gauge and probe and see if it's necessary.
An HKS Twin Power or AEM CDI box would resolve your issue in a more proper fashion. I'd look into picking one up.

Ya again just to restate the same I had to run my plugs a .022 for a bigger turbo otherwise misfire was bad. I still ran the BPR7ES though, just never have had good luck with the 8s.

i had br7es's and they would foul in a month. I would have to constantly change them out. Since then i have gone back to iridiums in 7 range and added hks dli2 and no more misfire and alot longer life to the plug. oh yeah gapped to .22
I don't think that plugs and a good gap are a dependable solution at all. With my t61 setup, and br8es's gapped to .020, I would still break up and at times lose 2 cylinders down the track. I heard that MSD works well.
You are right. While gapping my plugs to .024 @ 30psi worked up here at 3400 ft I tried down in Phoenix @ 1300 ft or so and I was breaking up at anything above 21psi or so even at a .019 gap. Ignition is the only reliable solution I guess. Too bad it costs a lot of money 
I could only manage a horrific 11.8 @ 120 because of ignition break up. Oh, it didn't help that the track sucked *** in the lane I kept getting. Can you say ice skating in first. The 11.8 was the one time I got the good lane.

I don't believe the AEM C2di's new version is available yet. HKS dli2 is a great unit, compact, and with the vehicle specific harness it is plug & play. MSD dis 2 or dis 4 are other comparable cdi's to the AEM unit. After that the price start's to really increase when looking at M&W igntion boxes, Autronic units, or even Motecs.
If you are really price concious and know how to do wiring I would look into a used DSM ignitor and coil pack setup, they have been proven to work upwards of 30psi and plug gaps of .025 and higher.
