Default problem with ver2 sti

my car starts to cut out one cilinder when hot and under load. idleing is fine and when the engine is cold also fine. could it be spark plug issue? i have new age coilpacks and it is not banging. just running in 3 cilinders occasionally when hot.

Yes, start with your plugs and leads. Usual suspects under load.

my moneys on a burnt plug

Also, my sti's ht leads are a very very tight fit, and unless they "pop" fully home, I can manufacture a similar stutter under load at higher revs

this is strange, i changed them 1,5 years ago and are done maybe 20000km. but of course i“m running higher boost now, maybe that caused spark plug fault?

it is not plug issue, when i turn left it stops and all cilinders work, but when right it starts. i identified a cylinder what is causing it. coilpack seems fine and it doesn“t bang. maybe wires to the coilpack is doing that?
