Just dont know what it is. I have a 99gst and every time i hit down the gas the car boost up to 10psi, trouble is that it jerks like crazy, i recently installed a manual boost controller and turned up the boost to 12psi. I hit the gas and the needle on my boost gauge will not go past the 10psi Again the car jerking like crazy. I feel like i have a boost limiter on my car could this be the trouble?
 
It sounds like you have a boost leak. I had this happen to me and My gauge was reading 15 psi but i was really putting in 20. Do a boost leak test and see if that fixes it.
 
Since no one else said it, I'll say it. Check for boost leaks ;)
Also, make sure your spark plugs are good (NGK BPR 6ES gapped at .028")
You disconnected the bcs right?
