I know I'm nitpicking, but a more descriptive title would help everyone help you. We know you have a question, thats why you're posting ;)
You did the right thing by chekcing plugs and wires first. Was the gap on the plug correct (028 to 030)? They dont come gapped properly. If that checks out, the next logical step is a boost leak. See the vfaq site for how to build and use an intake leak tester. Costs 10-15 bucks. Not only will this cure rich misfire, but I took a full 5 tenths off my time by fixing 3 very small boost leaks I never would have found ohterwise, back when I was on the stock turbo. Let us know how that turns out.
