If you have a T7 engine (black DI), that looks like a good choice.
It's also a good price.

I think you might have another issue as it sounds like your lag/boost
is somewhat exaggerated on both ends. But, for $25, give it a shot.
See what it does.
While you are in there, check all the small vacuum hoses - replace
them if they are not recent. You can do them all with 10' of hose.
Also make sure all you turbo hoses are well clamped, throttle body is
clean, etc. Replace the plugs with a fresh set of NGK's and change the
air filter if needed.
