Overheating or detonation.
Check your plugs for the correct heat range
Check for correct air-fuel mixture
Check for vacuum leaks
Check for faulty oxygen sensor
You get the idea

What car, engine, etc?
Sounds like an air flow sensor problem.

Tubbo...
Turn down the boost, and check if your missing goes away.
Ensure that your fuel pump is up to the task.
But.. you missing at idle... so reduce your spark plug gap.
Check for vacuum leaks too.. will cause missing at idle.
Have the injectors serviced. Check your oxygen sensor.
So much things could be wrong...

on another note if the plugs are not the correct heat range for the car that is the plug is a bit to much on the cold side (not sure if theres such a ting) will this cause ah saught of miss or ruff idle ?
