Not sure if you tried, but I had the same problem, thought my engine was blown. Looked under the car and saw the LICP completely disconnected just hanging, but never had black smoke. I had to keep changing gears just to go 15-20 mph. Reattached, ran like a champ. I always try the cheap fixes first, then move onto the bigger ones. Just check for boost leaks and make sure all clamps are secured would be the first step.

Sounds like it'r unning ultra rich. Will the engine hold an idle? Any mechanical noises; e.g. knocking? Look for disconnected hoses or piping? Pull the spark plugs and check their condition. Any CEL's? O2 sensors OK?

Thanks guys I went under and I did forget to tighten one hose clamp and it cameoff car runs fairly well now thanks again

ok good that your car is running good now, but if your the second owner of the car ill just take it to a shop near you (( performance shop )) and have them do a tune up and a complete check up including boost leak and ,,,,
