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
 
Thanks all try that and let you know it is just i have no tools over here so I will just buy a socket and wrench

Thanks agian
 
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. :thumb: Ill let you know if that did it thanks!
