Its actually got more to do with difficulty igniting the fuel/air mixture with the soaring combustion pressures at high boost.. It shows up as an ignition miss with the bigger (1.1mm) gaps, and can be quite harsh like a rev limiter. Running the smaller gaps (0.7-0.8mm) makes it easier for the spark to jump the gap, but can slightly affect lower rpm & low boost power.
The only way that you will get around having to run small gaps at high boost is to upgrade your ignition system, like a CDI unit etc.
