Limp mode help!

Ok, so here's the deal, i drop my car off at the rotary shop to get some things checked out the car felt like it was hitting a fuel cut as soon as the secondaries were supposed to kick in and the revs from idle to when the secondary's was real shitty. The reason i dropped it off was because i was sick of dealing with all the problems and i had just put a new engine in and didn't feel like doing anymore work. The wiring harness was also replaced in the process and the primary injectors were too, it turns out one of primarys wasn't even a turbo injector and the other was just messed up, (i got the injectors from a friend who said they were correct so i trusted him but oh well). I get the car back yesterday i'm driving and all of a sudden the car goes into some sort of limp mode like the TPS is unplugged starts idling at 1500 and dropps to 1400 then back up and down up and down and i have no power. So i hitch hike a ride back to the shop and my friend there thinks its the ECU so swap it and car starts up fine and i drive it back fine but don't boost becuase it's a stock ECU and i had Rtek 1.7. I arrive at my friends house and go inside and when i come back out the car does the exact same thing as before some sort of limp mode, and i'm like wtf, and 20 mins later i start the car and it's fine and i drive it home later that night. When it goes into this mode the car is undriveable, and the vehicle never did this before, i also noticed the AFM bracket i guess was misplaced, and the intake is slumped over, i lifted it up so it was more level, but that didn't seem to do anything. PLEASE HELP, i've been without my car for a month just to have more problems that weren't there to begin with.

You didn't say if you had an s4 or s5.

Getting any Check Engine Lights?

If its s5, your OMP may have went bye-bye, happened to mine.

No limp mode on an S4, you have other issues.

Sort of an update, well i unplugged my TPS and it didn't do anything to the car like it once did before with the previous wiring harness.. I don't know what is going on with this car here is a video. Mind the quality it was with my cell phone thats why its making all of those weird noises sorry. But this whole time i have my foot on the gas.
