Car Hesitating bad.. Please help.....

okay so i have dcsports intake, hp hearder, and cat back exhaust.
The car is hesitating really bad... when ever i step on the gas the car hesitates then after a few seconds, it kicks in and is fine.
if im allready on the gas and give it more its fine..
it only hesitates when the foot is off the gas and the initial step on the gas..
does anyone know what this could be from or what to check..
i could really use the help.

i think thats normal lag..whenever i let off the gas and step on it. the car doesnt respond then a second later it kicks in..
also, when im alrready on the gas it just kicks in..my car is mostly stock and it has done this since i 1st got it..so i dunt think u should worry.

Replace your spark plugs. That is my guess.

trade spark plugs with tom or with me, ill even come by, that way u have the OEM plugs not colder ones meant for forced induction.

on the right side of ur throttle body, u will see a little square looking thing with a blue and white sticker on it. it says denso sensor map, on the left side of the square thing it has a philips head screw. if that square thing has something aluminum or metal visible under it without taking it off, it should be about 1 inch i think, then ur missing link is still on. unless u never bought a missing link valve. if u have the missing link, lemme know ill uninstall it and buy it off u since i need it to make more than 8lbs of boost.

the injector i wouldnt know how to check that, i have no experience with it yet.

yeah im sure u miss the turbo, remember how u used to only give it just a lil gas on the highway and it spools and starts accelerating with ease? lol

Thats what I was thinking.

cable might have loosened up from the work done in the engine bay.
