Default Generic flash remap

So, as the old adage goes, buy cheap, buy twice, well thats exactly the position Im now in. When I got my wagon, I wanted a little more omph so I contacted Duncan at racedynamix, he gave me a price for a custom remap including rolling road that was quite good, however, one of the guys at work wanted his TT remaped and arranged for a guy to visit our office, I paid £230 for a flash remap that took just over 2 hours. Straight away, I noticed that the car was "lumpy" and hesitant in second gear but assumed that it would settle down, after 4 months, its worse than ever and seems like the turbo isnt coming in until around 4,000rpm (its just been with Dan from Surrey subaru specialists and he confirmed that something isnt quite right), so my question is should I put it on surrey rolling road first( saturday deal £40) to find out if Im right about the turbo cutting in late (if it was an issue with the turbo itself I assume it would cut in earlier but no significant power?) or should I just bite the bullet and arrange for a custom remap? (around £430.00) trying to keep costs down this side of christmas otherwise the kids will get an IOU this year, what other simple things could be causing this apart from the flash remap and would it show on a rolling road?
2001 WRX wagon, dump valve fitted previously, cold air induction fitted previously, no other known mods.
Many thanks in advance.
