well before you give up on the motor, sometimes the cylinder walls can be washed from all the fuel, remove the spark plug and put a bit of oil directly into the cylinder about a 2 spoons full, and see if the oil can help bring compression back up

Well i actually have boost missfire.
I can actually see my boost gauge flutter a slight bit.
Its common for rb’s to do this. Alot of the gtrc guys also recommended to get brand new OEM’s instead of going splitfire as well.
