Well my fuel pressure is good and i have adjusted it more or less and the same. Could it be a intercooler coupler leaking acking as a vacum leak?

Quite possible.
It's Gumby's fault.

If any of the intercooler couplers were leaking you'd know it because it would barely make boost.

I will ask again, when you changed your spark plugs, how did they look...was any cylinder worse than others?  Did the car sit for any extended period of time?
