I thought of starting a thread about those, so that anyone can read what to look for.Ill start but feel free to add any info you are aware of.
From today's trip back home i developed a missfire that occured above 1.5ish bar of boost and happened on all gears. Initially i thought it was fuel pump related,but eventually and with some hints from a couple of friends i found the cause being in a slightly loose spark plug +/- the earth from the coil packs was being squeezed from the coil cap.Once i retightened and checked the plugs, i went for a drive and missfires were gone!
SO:
1) Spark plugs tightening
2) Spark plug gap (too big, apparently bosch F5dpor have 0.4-0.5mm of gap.If it gets bigger,they need either replacement or bending of the rod to minimise the gap)
3) Earth links
4) Coil packs/coil pipes
5) Fuel pump/fuel filter
6) MAF/lamda sensor (in case you are still using these)
