Slight hesitation when coming on boost - R33 GTST

Hi all. Since I've had my Skyline I've noticed that often when coming onto boost (from 1/2 throttle or more) from a reasonably low rpm (under 4k) there will be a slight delay in the power coming on.

It's a 1997 GTST, only engine mods are pod filter, front mount, yellow jacket coilpacks and MBC. Fresh BCPR7ES spark plugs gapped to 0.8mm. 

I'll watch the boost gauge and it will make 10 PSI (my set boost level) but won't really shove for another second or so. It kind of stumbles for a second before it remembers that boost should equal power. It doesn't splutter like with buggered coilpacks, it just kind of doesn't respond properly for a moment. It's not the delay from the boost itself that I'm feeling, there's definitely a delay between boost and power. That's not right, surely? 

The only thing I've really tried is replacing my fuel filter and cleaning the MAF with some electronics cleaner. I'm thinking either MAF or fuel pump. Any ideas?

Are you running the stock BOV? my old r33 had the standard BOV and had similar issues.. must of been slightly leaking sometimes (was 20+ years old so did a good job) Replaced with a new aftermarked one and problem solved :1310_thumbsup_tone1:

I have blocked the BOV with a plate.

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
