the car needs a tune. the stock tune on the ECU is pig rich so when you are boosting, the car is dumping excess fuel. That makes the car bog down. The jumping you are experiencing is hesitation. Look into buying a split second air/fuel controller from protegegarage.com. You will be glad you did. I have it and so do lots of others on other mazdas forums Im on.

Good info and advice.
I know the newer MS3 has a similar problem with the over-rich condition, especially while on-boost. That's just Mazda trying to make sure the car is conservatively reliable. But as with most things... too much of a good thing.
