Misfire/Backfire problem

When my boost pressure exceeds 17psi the vehicle mis-fires, (sounds like a back fire). Can someone help me solve this problem.

I own a EVo VII JDM spec, greedy boost controller spec II, intercooler, full 3 inch exhaust, stock metal BOV, performance air filter.

I just purchased a wideband sensor/data logger and i also have access to the dealers Scan tool.

Please advise what information ou would require to have this problem diagnosed?

I'd start with the plugs first too

If that doesn't sort it then time to look deeper

Hope you get it sorted babe
