Default hot boost problem
ok the car runs fine when cold...iv replaced plugs. now on a long run worst in 4th or 5th gears car doesn't want to pull on boost and feels like its missing/ruff but only on boost and not all the time some times wont pull through it others times it kinda does. but 1st 2nd and 3rd gear it will mostly behave.... this all starts after maybe 20mins at 80mph. normal round town on way to work the car is fine.

leave car to cool (rest lol) and it will boost fine.

is this the coil packs breaking down when car is hot???

Sounds like coil packs.
Sometimes you can tape them up with insulation tape to make them last a bit longer or help diagnose the fault.
Pull them out and take the rubber boot off then inspect the plastic tips for cracks. Tape them up and refit the rubber boot.
