Default New motor run like **** Brainstorm session

Allright guys looking for some ideas here...

90 Crx DX DOhc ZC srp pistons eagle rods new oem bearings arp headstuds oem head gasket

Single Cam turbo kit( being upgraded after motor breaks in)
SS AUTO frount mount and piping...
Turboedit pm6 with ostrich and basemap downloaded off of xenocrons site

Car wasnt starting for a while... firing order was wrong...
I just adjusted the valves but i need to redue them because i didnt do it right...

Car starts and idles fine... it revs up peppy also but as soon as i start to try and drive it it bogs down and runs like ****...

Im making a boost leak tester to test for any leaks ( i think i have a vaccum leak)
and im hoping thats it... Any other suggestions would be helpful.

It doesnt hurt to get ideas from people....

Good compression

Thanks guys

check ur tps, cam timing, we need more info sounds like you built a whole engine from scratch so there are many things that can go wrong. hell maybe your rings arent broken in. any check engine lights? smoke? wierd noises?
