Default missing hard on boost?

have been running about 20psi of boost on me motor for a while now with no problems, but they wernt the best plugs or leads i woz used so thought i be safe and buy all new stuff for the ignition system, so went out and got me self a set of cossie motorsport plugs, beru leads, 2WD cap, rotor arm, and ignition coil all new, then gapped the plugs to 24 thou. but now car misses and splutters on full boost (never did this before) so ive turned the boost down and now its fine, but want to run the same boost again, any ideas as to why it does this at high boost and not at low, could the plugs be getting blown out? any suggestions would be much appriciated!

CheeRS!

if the boosts being blown out, do the gaps need to be larger or smaller? as i thought the smaller the gap, the less chance of it happening.
