turbo LSJ stuttering. HELP!

I just swapped out the plugs too 2 step colder race plugs. this is when the issue began. i was getting on the highway and got on it. did some odd pops then stutter/misfires.
the codes i got was p0230 and p0503. every time i get to around 9lbs of boost it starts misfiring an has no power. i swapped back to my old plugs. issue still exists. compression check shows 180 for all 4cyl and no loss of compression. i swapped coil packs around and issue still exists car drives normal. until i get on it. or try to atleast. ive cleand the maf with maf cleaner. I have a WOT box and i reprogrammed it and checked wiring and all is good. with it.

during the misfires my interceptor showed 72 misfires. 0 knock. maf air flow lbs/m were between 20-35lbs/m and afr was showing 14.8

I run full e85 car's built and tuned by zzp has ran fine for the past couple weeks since getting out of storage. I have a return style fuel system with a 255 walbro 80# injectors.

can any one give me an idea what to check to fix this issue. any ideas. i do not have HPT only an interceptor. i still have the factory battery as well. i have searched and i dont know if those issues were as severe as mine is. im not sure if swapping the battery will fix this problem.

sounds like spark blowout, tighten that gap. also E85 needs less of a colder plug than gas, so -1 step is coldest i would go

Cuz your car is slow. Just get the 2000cc injectors and tune better. Gap plugs better. And deffently driver mod.
