what kind of oil did you put in it?
how many ks has it got?
try some hpr 10 oil penrite brand ..... i had the same problem with mine a couple years back and that fixed it
they like to run on thing oil i have realised, stick 20-50 in it and itll smoke and miss
5-50 or mobile 0-50 and it runs like a dream

You changed spark plugs? Is it only missing on boost at high loads? Sounds to me like you plugs need gapping down.

.8 is what I find works for me on all my turbo cars. Reseat all you sensor connectors too as you might have jnocked a plug when doing your last service.
