Yesterday, I'm going down the interstate my car just started stuttering and stalling and it was like I wasn't even giving it any gas. The check engine light came on and started flashing. I have over 11 years' experience of being a mechanic, but nothing on this new model. It's got a misfire code on all cylinders except for four. So, I swapped the coils from three and four and three is still misfiring and fours not, so I don't think it's the coils. The past couple of months whenever I gas it to pass somebody or something it would kind of stutter for a second and it made a sound, and I was worried it could be the turbo gasket or maybe it was an exhaust gasket, but it's always pulled just fine. I put brand new iridium NGK spark plugs like it required yesterday and that didn't help at all.

I have seen both the fuel pressure sensor and the MAP sensor cause this problem which is the value of the sensor changes a little which affects the fuel mixture, when this happens it is not enough to give a trouble code for the sensor just the results of the failure which is the multiple misfire codes. I would try the MAP sensor fist here is the location of both sensors in the images below. Please let us know what happens.

Could it be the intake manifold gasket?

Yes, it could, to be sure test the engine when it is cold and follow this guide:
