in first-third gear it pulls hard as ever but when I'm on the freway and I'm in 4, 5 gear I will be at around 3k rpm and I will build boost and I will start to hesatate and pop, back fire and it never did this before I have a cop set up ngk one step colder plugs this is making me very mad can any one help out ?. Thank you.
 
It is more than likely not an ignition or boost issue or fuel, since you can do a full pull in 3rd and should be hitting full boost at that point.

I would look into your tune.
