Default power feels staggered

i have a 4x4 saph and when you put you foot down from say 2000rpm the power feels like it comes in stages as the revs climb not one smooth wave is this normal for a cosworth it's got a stage 1 but other than that standard

How does the car feel? Smooth or like it's holding back and struggling? Shouldn't really be in stages, what's the state of the engine? Could be many factors, wrong oil, or just worn turbo or block. Has it been rebuilt ever?

Only stages you should feel is off and on boost, once on boost should just pull to the limiter but dependant on amount of boost the transition from off to on boost could vary on severity.
