Im pretty sure this isnt normal

I have an issue, I have a 2nd gen GST, Whenever i floor the gas pedal i get some mass hesitation, unless i let up on the pedal, at that point it goes just fine. First i assumed the worst, CW.....doesnt appear thats the issue, no prob with left turns. Maybe Turbo? Injectors??? Fuel line??? Any input is apprieciated

do you notice the turbo spooling slower?

Don't always assume the worst. Hesitation is usually caused by the following:

1. Boost leak (run a proper leak test)
2. Old or incorrectly gapped spark plugs (use non-platinum only)
3. Failing spark plug wires
4. Clogged fuel filter
5. Clogged catalytic converter

If you have a logger, I would log a pull to see if there's anything happeniing with knock, but I would suspect simple symptoms first. We have tons of threads here on your topic. Do a search for hesitation and you'll bring up plenty of reference material. It would be helpful to know if the motor smokes at all when it hesitates, what color the smoke is, etc, etc. Here's a basic primer on boost leak testing:
