Pull the plugs and check them. Let us know how they look. They could just be fouled out.

yes regap plugs first, the more boost you run the larger the chance off spark blowout, id set them to .026 and see if that help your problem, with the tighter gap it may idle a little rough but its a trade off on higher boosted cars

Deffinitely.
This is the third person this month I have heard of running .035 gap. All were having miss fire issues.
