Did you just trust the plug gaps were ok out of the box or did you check?
Have you checked all the pipes inc the intercooler Y pipe and the intake?
Have you cleaned the boost solenoid?
Have you got a lead to do some datalogging?
What year uk2000 is it?

Ah just that it's very quick for a stock 218bhp it's got a td05 but wouldn't that have to be mapped in.pm sent with my number also I've been offered a sti ecu would that be any use to me??

It's running a different turbo and a decat,sounds like it hasn't been mapped,you will need to open the ECU to see if it has ESL board or some other generic chip fitted.
Sticking an sti ECU on won't do you any favors.
The hesitation on boost could well be the car running lean and detting,if this is the case then your engine won't last long.
I've been there with an MY98 uk2000,didn't last long after I fitted the decat,the bottom end shat it's pants.

Don't take this the wrong way but I don't give my number out to people I don't know,keep questions on the forum if you can as this may help others in the future.
It's well worth having a go on the search button as these kind of problems are well covered.
Check the things people have suggested and fire as many questions as you can

Remap including the ESL will set you back around £550
Or you can buy the ESL and cable for around the same price and DIY map,there are a few of us on here who DIY as well as some very good mappers who will give some advice if you choose DIY.
The other option is to put the car back to stock,TD04 and a catted down pipe should cost no more than 2-300£.
I've seen pics of your car and it looks nice,love the wheels and looks a tidy example.
Don't lose faith is my advice,might still have a good engine?
