my car's a heap

ok, my car is running like ***. I thought it was either injectors, exhaust/intake leak, or a dead rotor. It's hard to start, and it's flooding (injectors). It's got no low end when I pull out and sounds like *** when I'm cruising around. It's not until around 3500 rpm that it starts picking up and even then I'm only seeing about 7-8 psi. It's gotten worse as I've been driving, and it didn't happen right after any of the mods, so I don't think i hurt anything when I put the intake and TID on. I ran injector cleaner through it and it's not feeling any better, so any suggestions? One guy said to check the manny to the turbo gasket, so that's a start, any others?

My mods are
RB turbo back exhaust
DIY Intake and TID
FCD
Removed Air Pump
Removed A/C

if sounds like it might have a vac leak, but i can't see any. I don't have time to run ATF through it since I'm at school. I can't exactly put it in and let it sit instead of going to classes (though I've thought about it ). What about MMO? I used to use it and it felt fine, but i haven't added it in a while. BTW my vac's at 10 in-Hg at idle

I'll bump it once more in hopes that some gurus might be around this afternoon. By the way, the DIY BOV might be a little bit of a vac leak, but I don't think it's enough to cause these problems. I preloaded it a little more so it shouldn't leak much at all, and I got some MMO to put in the gas next time I'm out for a ride.

hmm... that's one thing I haven't thought of yet. I've seen alot of people having probs with them, but would it cause such a lack of low end and low boost? Might be something i need to look into
