Default [SOLVED!] 18 STI misfire on boost no CEL

[SOLVED!] When ever I hit 5+ PSI of boost I get misfire, no CEL so I can't tell which cylinder it is. I've put in new cold NGK plugs gapped to .025 and it's still bad tuner suspects bad coils since the ARF readings are normal until boost, he think's because of weak spark but before I spend 400 on a new set of coils I did some resistance readings on every coil and got .8k ohms on the first and about 7K ohms on the second for every coil. I compared them to a AutoZone replacement coil and got readings of 1.2K ohms on the first and 4.5 on the second. I'm going to get a new OEM coil from Subaru tomorrow to see what it's readings are but I doubt all 4 of my coils are bad unless the AutoZone coil is closer to OEM which I doubt. What are y'alls thought?

I did when before I installed the new ones. Would it help to send a data log?

Figured it out, first tuner I went to is a massive moron. It was a massive boost leak from the turbo L pipe to the intercooler. No idea how they missed that but I will never be going back to them. Had to go to Dallas to see AWDTuning they know subies.
