Default hesitating Boost???

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone knows what might be wrong with my car. it ocassionally hesitates while on boost, but if i let go of the trottle and floor it again it boosts fine. a friend told me it might be the amal valve ... any ideas???

Could be lots of things, even a dicky plug, I would go for a set up, but change the fuel filter first.
