Default Car just went limp like a 80 year old man... any WMS guys care to comment?

So I got my ATP Walbro pump installed today. Props to Mike and the guys at WMS they 'figured' it out and it all seemed ok. We test drove the car and off I went. Move ahead a couple hours. I'm coming home after studying, merging onto the 210 and the car feels very sluggish. I go to let of the gas a bit and it bucks. I accelerate again, ok, go to let off the gas - bucks again. Shift into 4th, let off just a tad bucks... Then it went away, but all of a sudden it feels like I'm driving a 2.8 12v, nothing there. So I take a few logs and lo and behold, requesting boost of 2300-2400 mmbars, output 1380... checked codes and there was one, postive charging pressure or something. Cleared it. Took another 3rd gear pull asnd just as the turbos started spooling up they cut out and limpy-limp again. I poked around under the hood and no obvious leaks. I don't have a compressor handy to do a leakcheck tonight.

I'm at a loss, anybody??

Default **** slowing down over there ?? Still buried ? I really need to get my suspension ****

fixed, been clunking for over 2 years now. Borrowed my friends jeep, I swear the suspension is quieter ..

If I source the control arms and possibly even new Coilovers, how long would it take ? Can I roll in Saturday morning and spend the day with Sammy playing pool and eating pizza ?
