recently, i changed my knock sensor. but it still flashes 34 on the ecu after resetting it with the new sensor in it..... car runs 100% better in vaccume, but once the turbo spools, it misfires... any more ideas? its not a vaccume issue....

new plugs, new coils, adjusted timing, new ignitor, new knock sensor, cleaned MAF, redid vaccume lines, tightened battery terminals(if that matters), im thinking about having the car re-wired......
