I gave it a squirt tonight in sport mode when changing from 1st to 2nd the car leaps forward same 2nd to 3rd but when changing 3rd to 4th there seemed to be a big lul in power before the car got going, has anyone else noticed this or is this normal.....

are you manually shifting the car or letting the car shift by itself in sport mode?

if you are manually shifting the car then you need to let the car rev to a higher RPM before shifting the car so that you are still in at a high enough RPM when you engage the next the gear. If you "short shift" the car you won't be in a high enough power band to spool the turbo.
