Default Turbo feels patchy

Hi Guys, changed the oil & oil filter last Monday.
car ran really well that day, Turbo was pulling hard the way it should.
Yesterday while driving, especially in first gear, the Turbo feels
patchy, like a untuned carby. and ideas would be good.
I'm not blowing any smoke, no codes, no exessive turbo whine,
just the hesitation from the turbo
likely causes:

Fuel filter? (when should you change it)
Air filter? (when i inspected the Air panel filter it has a gouge out of the rubber seal on top would that make a difference)
Spark plugs ?(how often should you replace)

thanks

Plugs and filters every 30k

Would oil pressure play a part in this!

Oil feed line to the turbo had a split in it, oil leak fixed, oil gasket, inner o-ring, outer o-ring all replaced...running good and turbo boosting the way it should

I really like it when somebody follows up with a post on what they did to fix a problem and whether or not it worked. Who knows that might help somebody with the same problem. Glad you got it running good!
