Thanks for the help guys, unfortunately I haven't been able to perform any of the check ups and ideas you've offered and I'm going out of town tomorrow, which means it will be 5 to 6 days before I can mess with the car.
Here's a list I've compiled so far to look at:
1) Do a more thorough boost leak check
2) Inspect/replace my ancient MAF
3) Check coilpacks and plugs (properly gapped)
4) Inspect Turbo (believe it or not but after 7 months of owning the car I've never peered beyond the exhaust shield
5) compression check
6) reset ECU
As soon as I get back I'll perform all this and anything else you guys can suggest and I'll be sure to keep you informed. While I'm gone I'll still have occasional access to the web, so I'll stay in touch. Even if I can't my boy 8_6_fo_life, will take care of business. Ha! he's posted more than I have.
Thanks again
