Default homemade turbo done, has a few problems, have questions

i finished my turbo setup and there are a few problems.
setup
t25 to adapter to hf manifold.
2.25 ic pipes to dsm side mount to 1g bov
smc
450's
dsm o2 housing running straight down
Oh yeah, the dsm o2 housing doesnt even come close to being able to weld to the normal exhaust(comes out on top of the cross member), so i am running straight off the o2 housing until i can fix this, but when i boost there is major hesitation and then it boosts real hard, then hestation and finally it boosts hard again til i switch gears. it does this in every gear. Could it be the smc? It is drivable, but when i boost it falls on its face, then boosts then falls on it face again. everything seems to be connected right. I need help!!!! help please!!!!
thanks
brian

is it possible your running too rich? the car will bog if its too rich, also check your plug gap and make sure its like around .025-.030.. if the gap is too big the flame will get blown out by the pressure and your car will feel like its having the hickups.

it definitly feels like its having the hiccups. i will check the gap and maybe even change my plugs to colder ones. I am reseting my ecu because i think there might be something stored wierd in memory. last night i think the boost spiked and it caused a check engine light and it would hiccup when it was running at a constant speed. so i am going to check the plugs and going to check the fuel. Do you know what the proper a/f ratio should be on my apexi af gauge? thanks
