Alright, I'm not sure exactly how to discribe it. I will attempt to explain as many problems as best i can.

Ive got a check engine light on, and oil light. i fixed my oil leak, ive got pressure and its in the given lines on the gauge. (stock) at idle when it isnt warmed up (been running) it barley stays on, idles at like 500rpm. i can keep it running and once it starts reading on the temp gauge it runs decent.

it doesn't like to stay running when i attempt to drive it, ive got to over rev it in order to move it. and once i start moving it sounds like it wants to BO, even when im only going 5 mph.

When i try to boost it, it's like a non turbo. NO POWER.
 
Possible mas problem, or you have some type of obstruction in your exhasut, but more than likely your mas. I had a simular prob but with my exhaust. good luck
 
when you drive it and then let it idle, do the RPMs drop and then slightly climb up? My money is on the MAS or it's a boost leak.
