Default misfire under load

Hi . Thanks in advance for reading. I've got a 1995 subaru impreza wrx import . Basically it has an intermittent misfire .I'm hoping it's a coil but would like some input . For quire a while now when it's damp out for the first 5 mins of driving it has a slight misfire . I no which coil it is as I can hear it arching out but this clears once warmed up. Now it has a intermittent miss fire when under boost . It only started when I fitted a front mount intercooler so not sure if I has anything to do with this but it did start at the same time . I'm thinking maybe the coil is weak and the slight increase from the front mount intercooler being fitted is showing this . Hope all this makes sense.
Cheers Jon

Sounds like a coilpack breaking down.

Increasing airflow in due to removing the standard airbox,and fitting a fmic so running lean!
Have you checked AFR's? Do you have a knock detector or some detcans?
If you're sure your car isn't detting then fair enough

if the missfire cant be cured by regaping plugs to 0.65mm then its a air leak post maf or your cambelt is a 1/2 tooth out. this happens when the cambelt is changed without clamping the passenger side cam pulleys
