Default just upgraded to stage 3 BUT got a missfire now

right was running stage 1 with yellows today i put a stage 3 chip in for l6,greens.
i fitted a set of greens with are used but told there in gwo there is no leaks from inlet.

i havent yet fitted a 3bar yet but i only just started the cosworth (dont worry i wernt going to drive in untill i have 3 bar) but on idle it has a missfire. would this be because it aint got a 3 bar fitted yet? i thought it would still be ok on idle

the ECU is getting told the WRONG values

infact, your ECU probably thinks you're actually on boost
