850R that runs like a GLT 850

This is an update to my original post titled: 850R with Sporadic Boost Issues.

Since this original post, I have replaced all vacuum hoses from the turbo control valve to the intake, turbo, wastgate, etc. From a drivability standpoint, the car has certainly become more predictable. Before, there were no guarantees as to what would happen when you put your foot in it. Sometimes acceleration was uninspired, other times the thing would take off like a raped ape.

Also, prior to replacing all hoses, the car had begun to throw engine codes (front O2 sense slow response, and non response from the turbo presure control sensor). Replaced the bad hoses, cleared the codes, no new cod3es since. However, I'm kinda back to the original issue, which is that I feel like there should be more power than there is. Any thoughts on the subject are greatly appreciated!
