I'm having a driveability issue here so I'm going to come out and give you the details. I took my car apart on memorial day to change turbos and add a FMIC. It took a while to get pipes and some misalliances parts so it took a good deal of time. After the install was complete my car is unable to be reved up with out wanting to cut out. I then took the car to my work and preceded to diagnose the problem. I used a scan tool and realized that I have no DTC's other then lower 02 sensor missing. the car acts as if there is a lack of fuel. So i went ahead and replaced the fuel filter cleaned my stock injectors and rail but nothing helps. The only way i can get the car to rev up is if I take the air cleaner off and cover it up for the most part. This then allows the car to rev up freely, but as soon as you move your hand the car dies. My spark plugs were wet with fuel so I went ahead and replaced them. My wires are good and all my connectors are in place. I preformed a boost leak check and its not my problem. The car is not able to be driven and I dont know what to do from here. I can only keep it here at my work for a few more days before i have to tow it back home. Does anyone have any ideas on how to help??
 
Make sure your MAS is plugged in and check for boost leaks. I had the same problem, and it turned out that I had an IC pipe that popped off.
