Default rs turbo s2 1990 missfire

hi guys

rite heres the prob please help if you can

car starts fine but missfires on boost and somtimes cuts out coming off of boost then when it get hot it wont start untill its cold again, by the look of the plugs it over fueling so i thought it might be the cold start valve so i disconected the fuel line to it and blanked it off but theres no change its still doing it also when it get hot it will miss and judder all through the revs

thanks in advance
