yea.. keeping as rich as possible ,stock internals with small V 10.2:1 comp piston and 2mm head metal gasket.......running max at 1.2 bar........currently around 0.6-0.8 bar......i only have shadow exhaust temp, reading 300-500 when cruising, 700-900 when boosting......Well I think you better study about spark plug gapping, there's many articles on the net on it.
Bigger gap, need powerful coil, if you don't, you get misfires. The feedback from the primary coil winding in the coil from a misfire will result in that bouncing rpm thing. If smaller gap, spark is less powerful, but also less strain on coil.
This is how the americans get away with using standard distributor on their turbo cars without killing the standard coil and igniter
Since changing distributor SOLVED the problem, I think the problem is that you are overstressing the coils, so the coil dies faster and kills your igniter along with it. In this case, you can just run external coil with the MSD cap, no need the ignition box. But can't really know for sure how much amperage the aftermarket coil draws and if it can kill your igniter. This one you have to ask honda-tech if anyone uses the same combo you plan to use. If you tell them you are running FCON, I think they'll also say you should just switch to coil on plugs. lol.
Of course, you can also use the MSD ignition box. It wouldn't fry the igniter unless your igniter already spoiling. It just means you have two igniters when you connect to the msd ignition box. One igniter to trigger the secondary igniter, then only goes to external coil.
Oh, BTW, 11.x AFR is quite rich for turbo also. What kind of boost levels are you running? If you got EGT readings even better, can see how hot your turbo is running, and if it really needs that rich an AFR.
so i think i get the cap, coil and cables 1st and see how.... cause internal upgrades,clutch and lsd is coming soon also....

ohhh... gap between the electrode and the plug is call plug gap.. now i understand....
