Sounds obvious but have you had the plugs out and cleaned them and checked the gaps? I had a similar problem, I changed my NGK PFR6B's to PFR7B's and gaped them to 0.65 and my problem has gone altogether.

i changed the plugs last month and they were all 0.7mm.
it was running lumpy last week so i checked it over and noticed a split in the turbo intake pipe so i changed it and its running fine apart from when its cold and its got the miss fire.

Thanks
