After chasing the gremlins that cause the hesitation since my car was new, I finally broke down and got some Crane Firewires from Race and Street (thanks Maggie). I have had the PCM replaced, regapped the plugs..a couple times... and have only met with limited success. It got some better but did not go away completely. It seems that the new wires have done the trick. I drove around most of the day on sunday and did not notice a problem once, just smooth acceleration through the RPM range.
I don't really like making blanket recommendations, but if your turbo is having hesitation problems, I would try new wires sooner rather than later. With new wires and plugs gapped at about .042 it really feels smooth at last.
After reading up on Iridium plugs I think I will try a set of those too. http://www.densoiridium.com/index.php A little pricey but hey, we only need 4!

I also installed the Firewires, but I gapped the plugs to .040. I gapped them at first to .045, but Mean Green suggest .040, like he has. Boy, it made a difference!
