The boost could be blowing out the spark, maybe worth reducing the spark plug gap? 0.6mm may be worth a try

No... i had a missfire problem a while back which only happened when giving it beans on full throttle.


What plugs are your using?

If its just under engine load it will be plugs. The coilpacks would misfire under any load if they were faulty. I had this issue and plugs fixed it. It would be worth fitting the latest revision pcv valve as a preventative measure too.

it will be your plugs (which you should replace if they've not been done in the last 10k miles) or, failing that, a dodgy coil pack (replace). I've had the problem twice (misfire when accelerating) first time it was plugs, second time a coil pack  :happy2:

This is why VW recommends a service interval of 40k miles for the spark plugs  :signLOL:

Have you changed your plugs... I had this after 5k miles following a main dealer service where they were supposed to change plugs...

Plugs hadn't been changed... Probably original plugs... Fault reading found no faults... As plugs don't give gAults like a coil pack will...
