i would def change the spark plugs...my car was miss firing under boost and it turned out just being the sparkplugs...try that first its a cheap solution to the problem and if its not that its not like you just spent a lot of money...only thing i can think of...good luck

changed the plugs and wires but that didnt do it so I got to looking and then listened a little better and then it didnt quite sound like a misfire so I started to check for boost leaks and found I felt warm air blowing in my engine compartment so then I put my hand just under the exhaust manifold and felt a leak it turned out to be a cracked exhaust manifold so I think so I will pick one up today and put it on hopefully that will do it by the way made it back from spokane. Ill let you know if that did it thanks!
