Unhappy help please!!

Hi. I have a subaru imprezer 1996 completly standard apart form a turbo timer.
I have just recently bought this car am im loving it apart from when i hit around 3/4000 rpm the car hesitates/ kind of miss fires but only when you put your foot down. Slow driving there is no hesitation.
I had a service done. Just the uaual oli filter an plugs but still have the same problem.
i checked the plugs an coil packs after just to be sure. But all seam to be in gd order. No corrosion/ cracks on the coils and plugs are at the correct gap.

Is there anyone that can help?

Many thanks carl

Default missfire

Maf is very delicate.Better buy new one.If you have a foam induction kit the oil contaminates the thin wire in the Maf.

Right. Changed the maf an still no good. However i found i small fuel leak from the filler down pipe on my tank.... oh dear aprently £218 + vat from subaru dealer. Could this lead to a splutter when excelerating? I.e lack of presure in the fuel tank?

Any ideas would be great?
