Alright, my old motor blew up. So, I had a shop do a 6 bolt swap. New motor, new trans, new fidanza flywheel and act clutch... it still has a few problems. And I'm pretty sure its all the turbo.
It's not a boost leak, I already did that test and it shower perfect compression across the cylinders. The motor is a strong 6 bolt, rebuilt by buschur.

Also, I have pictures of a sensor I can't keep the hose on. I'm not sure which sensor it is, or what it does. There is a very small nipple (about 1/8") and the hose gets blown off instantly. I've tried the smallest c-clamp, but won't work. It still blows off.
Any help? It's been over 7 months since I've had my car so I want this getting fixed ASAP!

- Bad acceleration. It has NO POWER at all. Like, 1st gear takes a good 4 seconds to go through all the RPMs when at WOT.
- Can't go above 60mph. Even in 3rd gear, it won't pull anymore. Plus, there is a metal noise from the motor when I give it gas.
- Stuttering/sputtering when accelerating. Even at WOT it'll sputter a LOT and have no power.
- I can hear backfiring when at idle and under load.
- Plus, I can move the turbine wheel up and down about 1/4", then in and out about 1/2".
