tune it!! look around for someone that offers a good tune, or pay for the aem ems standalone and get the most of those parts.

Just checked all the hoses and re-tightened them all again, just found one rubber hose with a cut in it and replaced it but didnt test the car yet.
everything eles seemed fine, if the car still isnt fast then i guess theres nothing besides it being rich?

You should not have noticed a drop in power with all of those mods. I didn't read the whole thread, but start with the easy things first. Does the car hold boost? If not, do the homemade boost leak test. (i did one last night!). Make sure your BOV isn't leaking or it's not backwards or something. Make sure the intake snorkle has both clips in them. Make sure you either capped off, or rehooked up all of the hoses on the intake. There should be two ports in addition to the large BOV hole. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

The car does hold boost, but iv read on a few threads that say even if there is boost it still could be leaking.
The BOV is fitted right.
Ok please explain a little more about the intake snorkle, i didnt get that? the hoses are ok. By the way what does the intake have to do with anything? it comes before the turbo, anything after the turbo such as the piping could leak? Please correct me if im wrong.
Is it possible the new turbo outlet (o2 housing) could be the problem?

The car does boost, but i have this weird supercharger whistle after installing the parts, is it a leak? is it possible the car is running rich with the fuel pump + no tune? is it knocking somehow?

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.
some people should just stay away from turbo cars! dude seriously do so reasearch.

Please search before you add mods. A tune should be first!

Do you have a boost gauge? Do you have a boost controller? Sometimes when you change to a less restrictive O2 housing after the stock one you need to raise the boost up a bit to compensate for the drop in backpressure.
