Exclamation unhealthy idle + Horrible breaking up and sputtering past 3000 rpm please help!

My car has a unhealthy sounding low idle after it starts to heat up, and it sputters and breaks up after 3000 in every gear, My boost gage shows it making boost yet the car will not pull and it sounds as if it is ignition or starving for fuel, I was told it could be the LIM gasket, but no luck in being able to find anything wrong with it. Plus the intake manafold stays alot colder then it did in the past.. any clue guys???

Yeah I have checked on the small things, I'm afriad it's more sirius then that, Here is a picture of my motor bay, and out of the top intake pipe, it sounds like a hamster wheel and a slite ticking
