wondering if anyone would be willing to help?

Sounds like you took out a valve or two.. You may have gotten lucky and have the bottom end ok, but then again with higher boost, may have hurt a piston..

Best bet is to just dive into it.
Post lots of pics for us

First off are the Injectors Blue....?
Open the Cover of it & look at what the Dials / Swiches are set at...
Depends on what brand... The AEM Gauge I have I picked up for about $250

okay so just wondering what is the difference between the a/f gauge and a WBO2?

i will take pics of the maft and you can see what its set at.

as for the injectors i will also take pics tomorow when its light out but i am pretty sure they are blue.

if thay are blue thay are 450s

the body of the injectors are blue, and then like two of them have a redish orange top and two have a black top.

okay so today was the day i started it all. im am on my way to taking the head off the car. i have taken off the, valve cover, power steering pump, MAF all bolts to exhaust mani but cant get it off due to a stud from the turbo, the u clamps that hold cam in place don't know the exact name, so the cams are loose just cant take em out yet. and i think that's it, my dad is real stubborn on listening to people on this website so he wants to do it his way, so if anyone could give me some info on what i should take off next let me know, im trying to figure out how to take off the intake manifold but cant find any threads on how to do it.

I'm not gonna comment on the rest of what your saying...But Why are you pulling the cams? ... Also When Pulling the Head I usaly Leave the Intake manifold on. More so if the Car is Stock since there is more in the way of getting to the bolts...

Agreed. There's nothing wrong with leaving the intake manifold on the head when removing it.

But... if you do need to take the IM off while your head is still attached to the block (in the car), the easiest way is to:

1. Remove everything on the top side of the manifold (ie. Fuel Rail, Coil Pack, Injectors, etc.) so that you can easily access the top side manifold nuts and bolts.

2. Remove your DP.

3. Reach up from underneath your car to unbolt the bottom side IM bolts.

Once I dropped my DP and had access to the backside of my engine, removing the IM took all of 15 minutes. It really is SUPER easy if you go about it this way... especially if you have someone up top to help guide your wrench onto the lower IM bolts. Once you're wrench is on them, there's plenty of room for your to break them free (especially since they're only torqued to like 12 ft./lb.).

okay thats what my dad decided that he was just gonna leave the intake manifold on and pull the head. but idk why he started to take the cams out. he said he wanted to take em out to be able to see into the valve and see what was going wrong. he likes to just do things his own way so idk.

pulling th cams wont help, after the head is off u will see the valves and i bet that a coupple are messed up. this is probly becauuse your timming belt skipped and its just a woe of an interference engine.

thats what ive heard so many times and after reading other forums i am almost positive my car jumped timing and then i bent/dropped a valve or two. im guessing it was two cause i pulled the spark plugs and the tips of 2 of em were totally smashed. so now im guessing the simplest way to take care of this is either to do a rebuild or just swap for another used engine, due to lack of funds im probably just gonna have to replace the motor for a used one, now my problem is finding one ive been looking everywhere just cant seem to find one.

okay so i am almost done pulling the cylinder head off there is just something stopping it from coming off and it feels like its by the timing belt. idk what it is. the motor mount is off on the side to so idk, ideas? anyone willing to come take a look sometime?
