Default Early Impreza turbo misfire on light throttle, please help :)

Have a early Impreza turbo, just on light throttle about 20% get a bad misfire feel and pops and bangs, sounds like anti lag, lol.
On hard acceleration and boost is perfect.
Have tried plugs and 4 coils but still same.
Any suggestions?
Not running standard ecu though so dont get any check engine light on.

Would a cam or crank sensor cause this?

Cheers.

Cured fault! New expensive racing spark plugs causing issue. They lasted 200miles and then gave misfire. All look same colouring etc. Now back to PFR7B, see how long these last.
