Some Questions on performance

Well first off all i still have a horrible 3800 hesitation and i still not sure exactly what fixes that, i was thinking maybe new fuel injectors would make my ride alot better. also my boost issue whenever i even give it half throttle my boost goes up hella high, but for that im guessing i just needa get turbo ported and then it will be normal. lastly whenever i goto like 6k rpm like not going into boost but going that high when i shift a little poof of bluish white smoke comes out exaust. any info i can get would help alot im just trying to get everything tooken care of so my car is alot smoother to ride not that its not fun already
thx everyone!
Tony

Grounding tends to fix the 3800 hesitation.

Checking and cleaning up engine grounds has been known to help 3800 sag. Specifically, look at the grounds on the ECU. All ground pins should measure 0.0 volts.

Also check the secondary injectors and the secondary injector actuators. If the secondaries don't kick in when they're supposed to, you'll get a serious sag. '87 secondaries kick in on engine vacuum at about 3800.

Checked... DMM are about $20 if you don't own one.

Fixed... solder guns are pretty cheap and so is wiring.

Secondary injectors... nah. You COULD get them cleaned, but that's probably not causing your problem. That would be more of a peace of mind thing.
