Low down revs when you put your foot down it hesitates alot before it goes.. Once on boost its fine but theres a big hesitation before it goes any ideas?? This seems to have got worse since i fitted a forge dv anyone any ideas?

If its a boost leak you basically have a good look about for holes, splits bad connections. Use some soapy water whilst car is ticking over and look for bubbles. Could be a faulty maf aswel, but they tend to flash a code up. Spark plugs. Ht lead loose or faulty. Probably a boost/air leak though.
