Default High rev missfire!

I've got a sapphire 4x4 cossie, spec is low comp, hybrid turbo, greys BD10's and it's developed a high rev miss, I have changed the tdc, phase sensor dizzy cap and arm, plugs (701's) leads and Ive turned the boost down to 20psi and it misses every now and then, any ideas?

Thanks

Rand
