Default Back end steering under light acceleration

When I accelerate to that sweet spot that the boost kicks in, my car sort of lifts and wobbles. If I don't hold the steering wheel and accelerate, my car will begin merging into the right lane. This isn't heavy acceleration, just enough to engage the supercharger, something like 2k RPM. When I let off the accelerator, the same thing happens in reverse. It settles and the steering corrects itself. The steering wheel never moves during all of this. But if I want to stay on the road I have to steer left by a pinky width or so. It had an alignment recently which didn't change the issue at all, and I get under it weekly, but I just don't know what could be causing this. If I had to guess, one of the tires is accelerating and the other isn't? Or, one of the tires is cocking sideways, despite everything being tight? And why does it lift?
