Default 01 bugeye misfire on boost

I'm hoping to find some help here with my on going problem. Only had the car for a few months and this problem has always been there, I have so far done the following.
New maf
Cleaned boost solenoid
New plugs (ngks)
Removed dump valve for standard
Smoke tested through induction pipe

Had anyone got an idea of what could be causing this misfire? Anybody had a similar issue that doesn't have anything to do with what I have changed/checked already?

Thanks

mine was an air leak on the inlet pipe, hard to see but the joint was cracked, once that was fixed it was fine then a different hesitation occured, that was a coil pack that needed replacing
