help Cel light came on last night
First off... 2 step colder on the plugs is a must with the lancer motor. Higher compression.
Next and before you ever boost again get a compression check done. If you are still getting the misfire code chances are you've hurt a piston and the dings on it from detonation are creating hot spots.
Next: list what you have on the car in detail.
Specifically, Fuel management, fuel pump, what boost your set at, etc. From there i can assist more but it doesn't sound good to me.

High compression + high boost makes for a very hot chamber... the colder plug ensures you don't get the ground so hot it ignites the fuel prior to spark.
When this occurs you usually end up with a spark plug that has a burnt off ground.

ok update guy, im towing the car to my friends speed shop, they are gonna ripp apart the motor and rebuild it forged pistons and rods, along fuel pump injectors intercooler and piping, is there any other weak part of the motor i should beff up while its all torn down
pistons and rods are weakest. Crank hasn't broken yet so it's plenty strong. If your gonna have it all apart and out i'd do a lightened flywheel and upgraded clutch.
That way you don't have to pay for the install later.
If you can get the head ported and polished... turbo car loves that. If you plan to go big boost later then get ARP head studs.
