How bad of a miss fire, random or out of the same cylinder? Check engine light? Any who, check the coil, compression, and injector. How did the other plug look like when you took it out?

What are you having done to the intake?

intake really is not stock at all. the turbo inlet elbow broke so had to make one. i made the turbo silencer and elbow in one. so i have crankcase pressure going back into the intake. i know i have a vaccum leak/problem, but the miss fire happened before the intake show happened.

Check the wiring going from the ECU to the ignitor & coil pack.
