Update:

Installed an EGT, drilled and tapped the manifold under hole #4 (driver's side rear). Am not showing readings above 1500 right now.

New fuel filter.

New plugs, NGK 6E11's I re-gapped to 0.037". The old plugs were 6E11's too, but were gapped at 0.046+", I now have no hesitation issues at WOT. All cylinders showed clean burns, except #2, which looks oil-heavy.

Installed Fuel Cut Defender so I can raise the boost to 14psi.

Noticed that after 40min of hwy driving, I went to park and got some torque bind and felt some weird "slipping" as I did the parallel maneuvers. Not sure what the deal is there, but I'll be watching it....I suppose I should probably jack the car up and measure the rotations on all four, huh Scott? :-o
