Need help car wont accelerate past 2000 rpm and tons of sputtering

Yesterday was driving and got on it on the a bit on freeway went up to about 7800 rpm through a couple of gears then slowed down to get of an exit and then my car started to sputter and not.able to get barley any power pass 2000 rpm. I went home check my IC piping and all vac hoses to make sure they didn't pop of and its still doing same thing. Anyone have any ideas of what else to look for.

I would do a boost leak test - just looking at the hoses can't determine if there's a leak. Also check your MAF sensor/wiring.
