thought so well all i can do is at least eliminate it and see , is it fairly easy to change gasket , looks ok to do but bolts look corroded and would you replace bolts with new ??

I would soak the bolts with wd40 over night before attempting to loosen them.

I wouldn't replace any unless they were damaged. Also try cleaning your boost control solenoid with carb cleaner. That has been known to cause hesitation issues if all gunked up.
