Default Misfiring and weird boost

Hi all, right my car has been running fine and boosting perfect up until yesterday. When idling it miss fires slightly. When im boosting, the tubo spins up and the boost gauge rises but the car feels like its pulling me back, then it lets go and throws all the boost in a one'r.

Meant to be selling the car tommorrow , any ideas what it is????

cheers
