There's been quite a few threads on this lately. Try checking your plugs and wires. Replace if needed.

Check spark plugs: Are they NGK BPR6ES's gapped to .028? If not, make them so.
Check spark plug wires: Have you replaced them in the last few hundred thousand miles?
Do a boost leak test.
While the intake pipe is off, check the turbo for shaft play.
Are you using premium gas?
