Well, I will make a long story short and explain the problem fast.
The car has NGK BPR7ES spark plugs and NGK turbo wires, they are like1 week old. The car will run fine if I dont rev it high RPMs. When I hit the gas after about 4-5K the car will missfire, it will make a loud bang noise, and lots of white smoke comes out of the exhaust. It happens at high boost. Its pissing me off since I cant find the problem.

how much psi are you running? and, according to your mods, you have a whole lot of air upgrades, but you dont have any fuel upgrades, and no way to control them (like an safc).
i think it might be fuel cut of some sort, i had the same problem. i had stock injectors and the vaccuum line from the wastegate to the ebc fell off, so whenever i would floor it, it would boost 25+ or so, then the car would surge a split second, and then 25% of the time would shoot a flame out of the back, but mostly just smoke. once i connected that boost controller line, i had to tune it down to 16psi, until my injectors come in. now i can floor it and it goes through the rpms smoothly.
moral of the story is, until you get fuel upgrades, tune your boost lower.

What gap are you running on the plugs?

The spark plugs and wires are 2 weeks old. I am currently running 13psi. I have heard that people can do 15psi with stock fuel system so I am doing 13. At high RPMS the car kinda missfire. It makes a loud BANG noise, lots of smoke from the exhaust and power is lost for about 1 second. If I keep pushing it it will keep missfiring every 3-4 seconds. The noise is loud, lots of smoke from the exhaust and car looses power. I cannot find the problem and its pissing me off. It seems to happen ONLY after 4k RPMS.
Also, I know about lifter tick but I can clearly hear a spark jumping. It did it with the old wires and now with the new. So I know its not jumping from wire to wire. But where can a spark jump from?
A friend told me that if I have low compression in 1 cylinder then the rest 3 the car will do what it does right now.
I am confused and I cant to find the problem.
