help s5 na running bad

I just bought and installed a new motor. i hooked everything up correctly. But when im driving around im not able to put floor the car because it starts running bad. I can get the engine up to redline if i keep the pedal before a cartain point. Its kind of hard to explain but any help would be nice. I was thinking it was the tps. but i replaced it and it still does it. If someone could give me a call at (757) 483-7791 or drop me a pm thatd be cool.

Sorry for such a short post, the reason I say it sounds like it's starving is due to the fact that you can have the pedal down partially and it'll make it to redline but flooring it will make it buck (I assume).

Check the fuel filter, injectors, etc and make sure they are all in tip top shape...
