hmm sounds like your secondaries arent kicking in i had the same problem.

**** all of that this is how you fix your hesitation on your t2 threads. the best way to fix hesitation on any t2 is to switch over to a s5 turbine housing or delete the twin scroll on the s4 and port match both hotside runners. i promise you the fc felt like it had the response of a bb turbo. general rule to the FC "the more you remove the faster it gets"
