Default bad stuttering.......need help

i have a 97 eclipse gst, it has been parked for about 6-8 months because i thought it had bad rings, but it was a combiniation of a bad headgasket and bad 02 sensors, a bad MAF, MDP sensor. well we got it running at it has a bad stutter untill from idle to about 3200 rpm. when im riding between that rpm range the more throttle i give it the more it hesitates. once the turbo spools up it rides out nice and smooth(around 3200) if i keep the car above 3200 rpm it rides fine. heres what done to the car so maybe it can help you guys out...

Heres whats wrong with the car......

i bypass the boost control sensor and just ran the vaccum line from the turbo to the wastegate. (10psi wastegate)

i fixed the front 02 sensor but havent fixed the rear one yet.

one of the tabs that secures the bolt on the throttle position sensor on the throttle body broke and i cant get a bolt back in it, so it only has 1 bolt holding it on.

One of the exhast manifold studs broke off, and it has a slight exhaust leak.

Are these my problems or is it something else?
help me out.....

and the check engine light IS NOT on.

thanxs for all the help.
