Angry evo wont goooooooo

Ok so here's the issue. I had my car tuned and it was running OK i guess not what i was hopeing for. shortly after i had to get a new clutch cuz i killlllled it, stock clutch so who cares. I had the clutch put in like two weeks ago. and now when I try to go WOT It'll boost to 21lbs, but the car won't go. My buddy told me i was running rich which i was so i changed out the spark plugs same problem. I looked for boost leaks and all that good stuff i couldn't find anything. I'm getting to the point now where i just wanna cry cuz my car just won't do what i like it to do which is GOOOOOO FAST!!!!

One this though if i had it tuned on stock ECU and D/C the battery would that reflash my ECU and delete the tune? Help me please.

MODS
AMS 3" turbo back
HKS 4 row front mount
header
K&N C/A intake
255 WB fuel pump
HKS BOV
AMS MBC(forgot that one)

Tuned by BatleGround

It seems like it would still be, a boost leak I had a vacume line pip off and the same thing happened to me, the hose was going to the waste gate.

No, your tune is stored in non-volatile flash memory, so if you disconnect your battery and reconnect it again, your tune will still be there and will still be used. (In fact, when you had your car tuned, the new tune was overwritten over the stock tune, so the stock tune doesn't even exist in your ECU any more, only your new tune).

It was just a boost leak and i think that leak has been there for a while, and it's just been getting worse but that bad boy is pulling pretty damn hard now. thanks for all the good info tho fellas!
