alot of times with a boosted honda on stock gap you will experience some ignition breakup in the upper rpm's. I've noticed that I usually only have the problem in boost applications around 10psi and up on larger turbos.

It's a good idea to just do it anyways, that way if it hasn't happened yet, you wont have to worry about it if it were going to.
