3800 rpm turbo stumble

I read that sometime there is a stumble around 3800rpm or so on the 2nd generations. FAQ mentioned ground connections? Is there a diagram that shows what I would need to clean or replace on an 88 turbo? My car is definitely experiencing the problem. If I stay on the gas it powers through but it is very noticable and not smooth as I would like it. Is it normal to get some sensation on the turbo due to impellers switching from low speed to high speed? Thanks

WOW! It's easy to see you spent a lot of time on the proper grounding procedures. The explanations and photos were awesome and make it easy for even someone like myself with only basic mechanical skills to follow and check/repair. Thanks!
