Got a question for you guys, my car (non turbo now) when i start it misses until it gets warm. It also back fires every now and again. I changed the spark plugs and wires. Do you think a coil pack is in need?
It also hardly every starts the first time, usually takes about 3-5 times to get it to start.

Also having trouble with it kicking into passing gear when I floor it, but thats another problem all together.
 
owww that could be a lot of things, how many miles? it actually sounds like your running lean and not getting enough gas that's classic symptoms also especially with that turbo. Take the plugs out and put the boots back on them and have a friend turn over the engine to check what ones spark unplug you injectors so fuel doesn't ignite in yer face ;)
