What is It?

so the past 2 days i have been trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with my car. it bogs really bad in trying to accelerate, but the turbo will spool if the rpms pick up. i tried going up my driveway in reverse and it actually stalled. i can keep it idling but if i let off the gas it will die out. the car is running like complete and uber crap and it happend very all of the sudden when i was driving home.

i did a poor man's compression test and actually put a gauge up to it, and its fine, i dont have any leaks in the intake, ive checked several other things that the book told me as well as others. i dont have a cat so my exhuast is not clogged.

when i run the car, the safc is telling me the second i let off the gas its running right where it used to be at 1.4% afl i dont know if this is low, but its where it was before, until it stalls out, with the key turned on the on position, it reads .4% afl when the car is off.

i dont knwo if the mass airflow sensor works accept for the fact that when i manually touch the gate i can get it to range from .4-79%, but i dont want to spend $190 to figure out it did work after all.

the mods to the car are 720 secondaries, blitz intake/bov, 3" downpipe, gutted cat, rb catback, streetport, ceramic seals, i run premix, safc, 255 walbro pump. all the vaccuum lines were already replaced

anyone have some info to help me out! i have a job to get to and my car is not helping me get there. thanks
