Default Hesitant Acceleration

Now ive sorted the turbo boost (well i think i have - boosting 8-10psi now) ive still got hesitance. If i feather the throttle it drives fine, and if i floor it it now flies. However if i drive with the throttle mid way it like hesitates.

Now the car used to be owned from new by my nan and i dont think she ever floored it so im wondering if its something to do with the throttle sensor or something?

How can i check this?

yeah , its like when the throttle is at a certain position it hesitates which leads me to throttle position sensor and the way it was driven b4 (ie, no welly from my nan) makes me think its that. How do i check if it is?

you need strobe. go to some mechanics, it is very simple to do. But dont forget to remove map hose (hose which goes from ecu to inlet mainfold) . tell him to put ignition on 12 degree.
