Question problems @ 3500 rpm

I seem to have a misfire/sputtering situation occuring @ 3500 rpm, at partial throttle. I don't know if it's sparkplugs and coils, throttlebody issues, or wastegate related. Any helpful response will be greatly appreciated.

Check your plugs first and then look for a boost leak.

Probably a boost leak. Can you go past 3500rpm? If so, does it continue to sputter? Check your LICP or other obvious spots for a boost leak
