If you don't have a CEL, then it's probably not your MAF. Sounds like either a boost leak or fuel delivery issue, although it would have to be a massive boost leak to cause a problem at only 1 psi of boost. Checking for shaft play is very simple, you pull the intake pipe off the turbo and check if you can move the compressor wheel back and forth. If the only way it can move is spinning, then it's fine, if it bounces in and out then you have a turbo problem.

Thank you! ^Most helpful post ever . I'll have to check when i get off work tonight. And the more and more I think about it the more i think the stock fuel pump needs to go back in.

Oil is fine. Problem was solved tonight. After cancelling everything out. The Fuel pump was bad, don't know how or why. Now the stock one is in and the car runs ok for right now. I can at least drive up to turbo trix for a fix.

I know how and why, cuz you don't know what the hell you are doing. First off all cursing on here is not gonna get you your answers. I was going to help you yesterday but when i read all the curse words i shun my eye to your post. If you would've done a search you would have found that the fuel pump installs causes problems if installed Incorrectly.

^Please man, calm down, I edited the post and keith edited the title. I know i was wrong in doing so, I even created a thread publicly apologizing for my immaturity. The pump was installed correctly, i had a DSM mechanic and a few other guys come down and help me out and check everything, it was just simply a bad part. Just a little bad luck. Please, I'm no mechanic and sometimes i may get in over my head yes, but I'd like to think i know what I'm doing to an extent. Once again I'm sorry that I offended anyone. Also using "hell" in the sense of "you don't know what the hell you're doing" is considered cursing too? Please man, I'm human, i messed up and I know it and I feel bad about it. Please forgive me. Rarely does typing ever convey emotions of sincerity but I ask that you consider this post as so.
