Had the same problem with my 2000 classic, I changed the plugs, fuel filter and pump, knock sensor but nothing. Then it sat on my drive for a week, went out and started it and the check engine light was on. Turns out to be the Maf sensor. Now it runs like new!

Hi i had a classic in my workshop that sent me round in circles for weeks! Same problem, missed and spluttered under boost. It turned out to be a weak acctuator that was allowing the wastegate to flap about.
