Double check everything.
Boost leak test and compression test, stat.
Oh, and if its running like shit, don't rev it to 8000 :P ...you know something is wrong by the time you get to 4500rpm, don't push it man!

It seemed to run fine until higher RPM's honestly, until tonight I have only seen it run like this 3 times or so where it broke up in the upper RPM's. I let off as soon as it started giving me problems and I seriously have gone WOT less than 10 times on the new setup, well probably right around 10. I have been mostly just driving it around normal cruising, I have been a big pussy because I don't want to break anything and was just trying to do a VD run tonight.
I am not driving it anymore until the wideband goes in, but I just haven't had time to put it in yet with work and friends' engagement shit and what not. The knock light didn't go off at all that pull otherwise I would've let off on that too, it looks like it only hit 3 counts momentarily.
Needless to say I am beyond annoyed with my car. I don't understand why it runs so well on the dyno and immediately when I seem to take it home everything goes to shit. I don't know if its the X's or what, but they seem to be way better on the dyno than the street. Shane drove it on the street and said it all looked good, never saw knock or anything.
I've only had the car for a week since it got tuned and like I said barely have beat on it at all.
