no power...

I just recently replaced my radiator, and i'm pretty sure i did it right, nothing really specially about it, but now my accelration is not there anymore like it used to, and the acceleration drastically slowed. Also, I can't redline when i'm in gear. Any suggestions? i heard fuel pump, and i'm looking into replacing it. any other cheap solutions that may cause this?

Could be allot of things, but to narrow it down a little. It could be "if an S5" OMP or 6 port actuaters.

For S5 models I would expect the car is in limp mode. Pull the ECU codes and see what the problem is.
