Choppy at WOT.

So car felt like it was losing power when i got on it and got a little choppy at WOT when i was on it.

Cleaned out my MAF, ( it was pretty dirty ). And decided to switch out plugs because it has been a bit.

Now it has the power it alwes had before it was acting up. but it is still choppy at WOT when i am on it. My low and mid feel great with no issues. The only codes i am throwing are P0401 EGR Flow insufficient, and P0243 wastgate malfunction.

I do not have a Boost solenoid. never came with the car and that is why i an getting the P0243 code. ( side note if any one has a spare lying around plz get a hold of me lol ).

The P0401 EGR code is new. I just felt around the EGR valve it feels like the vac lines are there and with it idling good and low and mid range i dont have any reason to thin otherwise. So i guessing it is clogged and i need to remove it and clean it out. And or by a new one.

Would my EGR valve throwing a code be interfering with my car at upper on WOT? Or is this a separate problem?

The car has a Walbro Fuel pump, Full hard piping ( injen ), Big FMIC, And full 3in exost with a test pipe. I also have Zetronix mentoring with Wideband O2. I boost is not dropping and my AFR is around 10.6-10.8 upper end WOT. Car was running good about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
