Guy with low post count says your idea is throwing parts at it
Get a STFU
Guy with higher post says your throwing parts at it
Get a oh yeah you're right
LOL
try and nail which cylinder the misfire is in. Swap plugs, recheck. Swap coil, recheck. Injector very very unlikely to go bad. If neither of those get you anywhere spend the time and money on a leak down.
Remember KISS swap the parts with a 10mm then spend money on tools most people don't have at their disposal like an air compressor and leak test, or you go to a shop to have them rest it.
If the problem swaps cylinders with the last part you swapped you nailed it!

lol. true true, but remember post count doesnt mean anything to me. BUT..... the truth of the matter is in what i said. Injectors and coils dont typically fail on this car.
he is built and likely has much aftermarket stuff. God knows how good the tune is. So plugs are the cheapest first option.
if that doesnt cure the miss, leakdown is next. cause most injectors dont just fail... and as has been said... coils.... nearly never fail.
See where im coming from now?
The right way of doing things doesnt change in order according to how much money you have in your bank.

All good. My point was that swapping coils would be step 1 because it's 4 socket head cap screws and 4 10mm bolts, and it's free. You're already finding the bad cylinder by pulling the sockets one at a time, so you might as well swap two coils while you're there and narrow it down a little. I've nuked a coil and the car sounded exactly like a subbie. Usually with a bad plug you start getting misfires and blow-outs. I know you can fry a plug instantly, especially turbo, but I would say check the plugs, and see what the gap looks like on them before you just throw some at it. Sorry if my post came off rude. I'm just blunt.
