Unhappy New Engine???My car is acting funny.

mods=mp & silencer only

Just recently my car started acting really weird.

my car idles fine. Stand still-I can rev past 7k no problem. my car idles perfectly right at 850 rpm.

But when I drive, especially when I step on the pedal it makes a weird noise

it sounds like when you buzz your lips. kinda like a bee-buzzing sound. lack of power feeling.

up hill driving? forget it. it wont go for ****.

clogged injectors? clogged fuel pump or pump going weak?

oil is good 20-50w

What could this be. I wanna hear the worst case scenario please. I can handle it. I think?

check the vacume lines between the turbo and intercooler, one might be broken or disconnected. the'res a 10mm line that is about 4 inches long that goes back to above the air control valve, or whatever the thing above the turbo is called. i had a similar problem after i replaced my turbo, it took me forever to figure out what was wrong. try opening the hood and having a friend rev it. if you see whitish smoke or fog, that's water condensing as the compressed air that is escaping expands and cools down.

sorry its a 87tII.

so your saying it could be a vacume line??
could you be more specific on the location of the 4" line.

im assuming it has a very thin line that goes directly to the manifold. am i correct?
