Car bogging Wot or acclerating
I put the car on a lift and drove the car on the lift in first It seemed fine till fourth gear then it started bogging again as if there was a load on the engine or a strain. but on the ground it starts bogging right away when on throttle. I hear no knocks from the engine what so ever and rev it up and the BOV goes off its holding boost fine.

Dude its probably the tune. If you had a tactrix cable you could log it and send it to me or someone else and they could look it over for you to help you out. But without one your basically going to have to take it to a shop or find someone locally who knows how to tune an evo to get her running smooth. I buy evos off auctions frequently and when an evo owner (for whatever reason) is forced to put their car in an auction, they feel the need to take aftermarket parts 
or maybe try and screw their bank 
lol. anyways. Post a log and your map on here and some1 will be around to help you out.

Ill see if i can post up a video on here by monday! but I dont see why the engine could be knocking the car. When i start the car and rev it in neutral there is no knock in the motor.

This one was hit in the quarter panel and the front but it didn't go all the way towards the radiator. the Front mount was a little bent i replaced it. I picked this one 8500 shipped with all fees and everything 05 with 55k good or bad?

^ your right though the car only bogs when its under load! I changed the spark plugs today and drained the old gas and put octane booster still nothing. no boost leaks what so ever. and the engine is not throwing off any codes. Only when i floor it and past certain RPM the car starts bogging when under load. The exhaust just starts backfiring and popping! So I'm guessing the Car prob isn't tuned right or my catalytic converter might be bad? I still highly doubt the engine is knocking. the car wasn't hit too badly from the front when i bought it. the major collision was the quarterpanel it was bashed in.
Sounds like plugs. Probably an untuned Evo running rich. If you bought it at 55k then theres a good chance the plugs weren't changed. They can be black from being old too. You should try the plugs first since its easy then go for a tune to see what's really going on.

If you're running rich, it could be because of a boost leak. Metered air is escaping, you'll be running far more rich than your motor suspects (if a boost leak is present of course). If you're lazy like I am and don't want to make a boost leak tester, PPI offers a very nice piece.
