Default Missing on boost... plug failure?

Just been out round some twisty roads and it drops power pulling out of a bend so i pull in to check stuff over. Every thing seems fine and it idles fine, temp is fine, no smoke etc.
Go to pull off and its fine upto 2000 rpm then as it starts to boost it gets a miss. Ive just replaced the distributor cap, arm and leads but not the plugs as they are denso iridium ones. Ive heard lately that the densos can fail on a boosted motor, so as soon as it cools down im going to have them out have a look but has anyone else got any ideas?
Oh and its still making full boost.

full boost is 0.6 bar, plugs were gapped at 0.028" Not had chance to check them as its dark and raining so will do it tomorrow now, i hope it is only the plugs.
