Hello ! When I accelerate even progressive the car has hesitations (it's like someone is pushing brake while I accelerate) especially felt between 1,800-3,000 RPMs. I plugged an OBD2 tester and it has no error. Watching the boost pressure while accelerating shows it fluctuating between 4-6 PSI and the car feels slow (it should boost somewhere like 9-10 PSI according to other guys that have Focus or Mondeo 2.5T 5 cylinders). I changed with original parts: spark plugs, coil plugs, MAP, MAF, boost control solenoid, ECU that has original software. The turbo was verified and it is in good condition. The car works perfect and it boosts as it should (9-10 PSI) when there is humidity outside (ex: rainy, snowy). I verified the turbo wastegate actuator by pulling with hand and somewhere at 60% of its way has a point that feels sticky (jerky). Could the actuator be the problem or it is something else considering the car works perfect when there is humidity outside?
