Default spluttering........HELP!!!!!!!!!

i've gotta bit of a problem with my saph. if i'm driving along and just slam the pedal to the floor, the car stutters and splutters for a second or so before it takes off. i spoke to a lad and he said to check the plug gaps as if the gap is too big when the turbo comes in it blows the spark out causing this prob. just wanted some other opinions.

any help would be much appreciated
