Default turbo people need some help

lately my car has been giving me some hesitations...

it would start when im cruisin on 5th gear around 3K RPM... the car would just BOG and start hesitating on low rpm... when i go to complete stop, the idle would be fine but its lags getting the car to run.
*note* idle is fine but when i rev the engine it sounds like its choking....**

i gotta revved it around 2-3k for car to run smoothly, once i get it on other gears, it drives fine...

am i running too rich??? is my FMU giving up on me??? please let me know what you expert thinks...

*note* the vacuum reads normal and turbo don't have a problem spooling...

here's my set-up

00ex with apex world sport exhaust
greddy turbo kit
FMU
missing link
blitz BOV

definately sounds like fuel problems. Do you have a fuel pressure guage? get a super AFC.

It's not necessarily ruined, but you need more fuel with FI. That's just an idea, I don't know for sure that that's what it is. Try PMing Andy.

well did some research during lunch time and this is what i found out..

1 - im not the only guy whos going/went through this kind of problem (very relieving to know)

2 - it could be the fuel filter

3 - not fmu cuz it works fine on high RPMs

4 - kinked / clogged vacuum hose
