I also wanted to add that the car idles fine, and runs normally until I'm boosting in the upper rpm's

They were new oem plugs that come pre-gapped. I didn't gap them.

You would've lost some money in that case

So what was the problem. This thread helps no one. People search that might have the same problem. This thread is usless.

Yeah, what was the solution?

I'm having a similiar issue. My car "hesitates" VERY slightly anywhere from one to three times while hitting full boost. I'm just wondering if my plug wires are shot. I've changed my plugs, changed my BOV back to my stock one just to make sure, and it still does it. Very annoying!

There are absolutely no other symptoms, other than an EGR code P0401 which I highly doubt has anything to do with this?

You can't gap iridium plugs for ix anyways. So that kind of throws that solution out the door. You have stock ignition too? And what was the problem?
