Default Need help! New GTE owner, have questions!

What's up guys, did some searching and couldn't find anything specific to my problem. I purchased a 00 GS with an Aristo swap, it has BPU and TTC, before I bought it the prev owner said he thought the bov would stick, meaning hesitation under hard throttle. I eventually changed the bov but the prob is still happening. It feels like it could be fuel cut or maybe boost, I don't know. I'm new to turbos and the GTE so don't know much. Basically, when you step on it and it goes into boost, it'll sputter then drop like if fuel was cut. I'd like to take it somewhere and have it looked at. Any help or guidance is appreciated!

Sounds like it's misfiring. I don't know much about 2JZ's, but spark plugs, coilpacks, ignition wires, etc. be areas to check if that is the cause.

Thank you for the input, I did change the plugs when I got it but I'll check the rest...

Well the car has no misfire.....I'm told it could be over boosting bc of the BPU and could be leaving out a bit
