Default cossie misfiring on boost

my saff seems to missfire on boost when you jingle round in town,then when i get out on the bypass it will clear and behave when its on boost,anyone have any ideas? im going to bang a set of plugs in next weekend and see what that does.

funny how this might sound but one of my 3 doors years ago done the same when stuck in traffic used to misfire on first boost up, cruise for a while and boost again then ok, i changed the crank position sensor and it was sorted.
