Default missing under boost?

my car was being a pain to start so i removed the plugs and gave em a damn good clean

car now starts much happier but is misfiring under boost now?

has been sat for 2 weeks or so unused, would the fact that the plugs were covered in crap affect the fuelling as it was set up at scc shortly before i cleaned them

may pop up there later, just checking i havent missed something
