Crane HI6 install, and still some stumbling

Well, I decided to follow Javad and install a Crane
HI6 CD ignition and racing coil.  The car really
screams again, it's helped the high end a lot, and the
turbo seems to spin up faster as well.  I've had to
re-calibrate my Fast Food Drive In Foot because the
car is much more responsive now:)

Now for the bad, 4th and 5th gear are still giving me
fits at ~3000-3500 rpms and ~20 psi of boost.  The
damn thing bucks really bad like a fuel cut off
almost.  Hopefully it's not misfiring.  I put a new
cap and rotor on, the old ones still looked new.  If
you let off the gas a little and let the rpms get up
to 4k, I can hammer it and it revs with awesome power.
 I though I was having spark problems, but this new
ignition would have fixed that.  In fact it made it
worse because I get boost even lower in the RPM range,
and that's where the bucking starts.

I guess I need to look at my WG setup next, It's
really the same as it's always been for boost control,
but may be I'm flowing to much air now or something
and it can't keep up?  Any ideas?

Thanks,
