Unhappy Misfiring HELP

Here's the problem: I give the car some throttle either in 2, 3, 4, or 5 and above 5 psi, and above about 4500 rpm, the car's power is not smooth and it seems to be either hesitating or misfiring. Also the exhaust tone changes from smooth to a sputtering sort of crackling noise.
PLEASE HELP

Mods done to car:
2.5" exhaust with high flow main cat
hks powerflow intake
hks f-con
ball and spring boost controller
t3 / t4 turbo upgrade

thank you, Dave

Does it do it at ALL during deceleration? Checked the TPS? New injectors/cleaned injectors? Signal from the ECU to the secondaries good?

I don't think it the injectors as they were just bench tested. As far as the elctical signal to the 2ndaries...mabey it's messed up....how can I check it? What else could be cousing these high boost/rpm stumbles?

HELP!

did you upgrade your fuel pump? and what size injectors are you running? maybe you're leaning out your car...

Kinda off-topic, but how did you get that T3/T4 hybrid onto your FC?

The spark plug lead between the leading coil (behind LHS headlight) and the leading (lower) spark plugs. I just replaced the broken one but I figure if one failed the rest can't be far behind, so I'm getting a set of Magnecore KV85's soon.

It's a Knight Sports Turbo upgrade kit. It came with a new intake housing and new, upgraded impellars that work with the stock exhaust housing. It's actually a Turbonetics Intake.....
