Sounds like an issue I had but not as bad, if your stock you may want to check if the catalytic converter is starting to plug up. Too much back pressure on the turbo and it doesn't spool well at low RPM. I'd also check all the connections to the turbo.

I'm thinking you're suffering from some injector stiction. What are your oil change intervals and what oil and filter do you run?

Do ficm test and.......

Test ficm cold, key on, cranking and at idle. Check injector contribution with IDS and make sure to turn off compensation, COLD and in drive or reverse. You WILL find your problem. And if it is the injector contribution REV-X WILL HELP.
