Any suggestions on my problem?

I recently had PAC installed on my car and the next day while pulling a u-turn, I fish-taled a little and then my car started acting up on me. When I accelerate the turbo will spool but will not provide and power and when I let off the car sputters and trips on itself. If i keep on the gas when it starts gagging it continues to choke. Shifting gears temporarily stops the problem but as soon as the rpms come up it happens again. Occasionally the ide is rough.
*The engine idles with a vaccuum of 15
*No malfunction codes
*Before this happened the car was running a little rich O2volt and BLM wise
*No knock
*No shaft play
*No visible pipes or tubes out of place, except the turbo outlet is a little loose.
*New heavyduty wastegate
*New O2 sensor
*the MAF was tested and passed,
*tested the coil pack and thats not the problem
*alky sprays fine
*Fresh oil change
*plenty of gas
*vaccuum and boost lines are connected.

any ideas of what else to check or what my problem might be?
 
Did you blow off one your intercooler pipes? I know you checked but thats what it sounds like to me.

Did blm's change when this happened?
 
Problem solved, the increased boost moved the intercooler forward and pressure was leaking out of the outlet.

We didnt change those hoses. Take them off and brake clean them.. install T-bolts.

May the boost be with ya :)
