From what you say , I would go with Coil Packs, Or at least fit new Plugs & make sure they are gapped to .7 if higher than standard boost is being used .6, Reducing the plug gap before fitting new coil packs will also help to idenify if the Cpacks are at fault , If the stutter lessons then its them, As they get older the spark weakens & gets blown out by the boost.
As for the Dump valve if this is not holding boost & leaking , it will also give hesitation & stuttering issues.
If you have the standard Dump valve put it back on & try , see what happens.
1 Replace Dump Valve & Try
2 Plugs & Gaps See if it gets better
3 Coil Packs
