Default New WRX owner, turbo problems!!!

Hi
Recently bought a 96 jap import Wrx. It's had a few things tinkered with it,

3 inch straight through de cat ss exhaust
Lightened fly wheel
Comp clutch
Short shift box
Suspension
Breaks

When I put my foot down , it sometimes cuts out for half a second half way through boost, then boosts again. Making it an extremely jerky ride. Any ideas? ... I'm completely new to scoobys , and this is my first turbo car, so I really do no nothing !!

Any help at all is greatly welcomed .

Cheers
Biggzy 😁🚗

Welcome mate, did you not check all this before buying.
