Engine sputter at WOT?

I installed br7 plugs and it ran mint for a while. However now at WOT it starts sputtering hard when it comes into full boost. Also when im just crusing around it will randomly sputter but not like crazy. Like 1 sputter every once and a while. Can anyone help me out?

Also double check for a boost leak too.

check for leaks. you could also check to make sure that the coil packs are connected good. what are the plugs gapped to and what boost level are you at?

You could also try swapping the coils out one by one. I had a coil go bad and luckily had a buddy willing to let me try his coils. I too thought it was a boost leak at first.
