I am having some difficulty trying to figure out what is going on with my car. The car revs and idles fine. But when I try and drive the car it bogs down horribly. I just need something to go on.
 
Do you have a logger if so post a log and we can see from there. My guess it's fuel. Your injectors are pretty big to be using a S-AFC you may need to upgrade to DSMLink soon. Also what is your FPR set at.
 
My fuel pressure is running at 45 idling and then goes up to 55 when on the throttle. I did have a logger but it went to crap.
 
The only time my car ever acted like that was when the nut spun of the compressor wheel. Of course when it bounced off several fins that T25 was scrap. I never heard a thing...going through the gears I got 1-2 no problem, topped out 2nd, but when I hit 3rd it felt like I hit a brick wall. Milking it on the way home acted like you describe.

Another quess, maybe you blew a hose.
