Default Car hesitating when accelerating

Hi Guys

I'm after some advice please, I have a 2001 wrx bugeye and in 4th and 5th gear mostly, when I accelerate hard, the car seems to hesitate and hold back a few times and then gets going. Has anyone experienced this?

It is due a full service soon, i have had a remap with a few upgrades, walbro, filter, exhaust etc 2 years ago, but i have noticed it more over the past 6 months I was thinking of changing the plugs again and ht leads when it goes in for the service to see if that helps what do you think?

cheers
Grant

Sounds like Boost Spike to me, but if its been mapped, possibly not, see how dirty your MAF is, dont think you can drive through faulty plugs.
