it hesitates alittle hear and there, and it feels like it only has like 2 lbs of boost. WTF?

sound like some one may have had a boost controler on it and removed it and forgot to hook up the boost solenoid, it is located under that little black cover on the passanger side just infront of the strut housing, it has two twist locks that hold the cover on, there should be a 3mm hose going from that vavle to the boost port on the turbo outlet tee, that hose will aslo go to the waste gate. make sure that the low pressure side of the T is going to the boost sol, and the high pressure side to the waste gate.

This sounds probable.
