It's probably fuel related. When I first read it, it sounded like a carb with a pump shot that was too lean. If you know the timing is right and it doesn't have mechanical problems, it's probably tune related.
What do the plugs look like? Post pics.

Now were getting on the right track... Acceleration enrichment, and injector timing... they will get you every time

Can you take one with clear focus of the tip/insulator?
Hard to tell, but it looks like it could be glazed, which would be a sign of too lean/running hot etc. Which fits with what you're describing.

I can try and take another one. The guy I got the car from was running straight Turbo blue in the car also. Would that affect the plug color? Would I be able to turn the fuel pressure up and get rid of the bogging issue?

I'm not gonna waste money and have it tuned right now when everything isn't the way I want it. I plan on tearing it down and changing some things before I get a tune. I was just trying to figure out if this was a simple fix or something more. I've had cars with very similar combos that never had a tune but I also never had a bog issue like this.
