Detonation? Overboost? v.halp!

okay, here's the sitiation
parents went out of town for a week's vacation
and-
2008 Evo, GSR w/HKS panel, Greddy TBE, no cat, Cobb Stage 2 map, Brisk plugs

When i get under heavy boost, ~25 psi, it starts to stumble, and feels like traction control or a clutch slipping-but it's neither of those. Detonation? Overboost? Also, it feels similar to the time I was getting secondary missfires due to a defective Brisk spark plug, but not as drastic. Anyone else having problems with Brisk plugs? I hope it's not those again, but short of reflashing Cobb to LWG map for overboost, i'm stumped

Thoughts?

This is off topic but, why'd you include the parents comment. This gave me a good chuckle. Apologies in advance.

try to Google an EVO club specific to your area. I'm sure something will come up and there will be advertisements for local shops.
