Hi Darin
I would check the waistgate cable to the turbo isnt sticking,
followed by both throttle cables are travelling the same amount towards their 
end
of travel before they reach the end stops,

hesitation when going full throttle.  Basically, when I push the throttle
up on take-off, it runs beautifully up to about 100% throttle or max. continuous
power position (35" MAP or so).  Then as I go the last 15% and the boost kicks
in full, I get a very slight hesitation (maybe .5 seconds) then it continues
up to my 5700 rpm max. prop setting and 40" MAP.  It doesn't seem to do this
when in the air and going WOT.  I have a Airmasters prop and sometimes think
that this might be the cause as the electric motor that drives pitch lags 
slightly
behind the engine.  Anyone experience this?
