Default Bad misfire on ERST

For some strange reason my car is badly misfiring as it comes onto boost. It has got a Turbosystems chip with a hi/lo boost switch. High being about 15 and low being 7.
It only does it on high boost, sometimes just happening for a second and sometimes constanly.
I really need some advice on this one so any comments would be great.

Cheers Matt

had this with my car when running high boost.
changed the pligs for for standard ford ones (0c91s) and gaped them to 0.6mm. this cured all my problems,
worth a try as the plugs only cost £12 from ford.
regards
