Default LS/Vtec turbo problems

well i just got my car running again today, its a Basic ls/vtec setup. B18b bottom end, SiR2 B16 head. well i started it for the first time and let it warm up, and drove it and theres where the problem started. if you give it to much gas it feels like it dies, like you just let out of the gas pedal. you can drive it if you stay out of the gas but once you go about 50% throttle it does it again, even free revving doesnt work. i checked the throttle cable and its hooked up right, anyone have any ideas of what might cause this? what should i check??

Thanks.

Crome, with a basemap for my B16 when it was boosted, i didnt think it would make a difference since i wouldnt be boosting until i can tune.
