Default Sti 6 running issue

Hey guys i have a v6 sti that is standard except downpipe back exhaust it has started running badly the issues are from cold it will start and idle fine but as soon as you touch throttle it will splutter and miss fire. When its warm missfire gone but only revs to 4-4.5k and splutters. We have changed plugs and gapped to 6mm and they are ngk 6s. Changed leads, coilpack. There is no cel light on and we have checked for codes and its clear we have also reset ecu. Has anyone got any ideas cheers james
