My hatch has problems that I can't seem to figure it out. Extreme power loss, turbo glowed red in minutes, 5 mpg, have to give it gas while the clutch is down or it will stall, hard time starting. It's a 96 hatch with a b18 bored to a b20 low compression turbocharged. Was running great and one day it started to get a little warm then it lost all its power. Pulled in a gas station to fill it and left was on a hill and if I didn't give it gas it would cut off on me. After getting a trailer it wouldn't go pass 20 mph. And getting it on the trailer and off I had to basically push it. New map sensor Dizzy Fuel filter
 
Runs rich, when I slam the gas down black smoke would come out. Excess fuel amounts.
Bad fuel injectors
Massive boost leak??
