Default Fuel-cut & Bogging after IM switch

Allrite, this one has me stumped. Couple days ago I decided I was going to return my B16 (in my 89 Dx Hatch) back to stock.

I pulled off my Complete IM, consisting of AEBS IM,AEM Fuel rail & FPR,Marshall fuel gaue, 68mm TB.
And put on a completley stock B16A IM.

Now, the car starts up fine, idals fine, and under normal driving. Runs fine.
Once you floor the gas, it falls flat on its face.
At idal, if you hit the gas hard it bogs down and almost shuts off.

I've gone thew double checked the injectors,make shure i didn't clip 2 in backwards, switched out the stock FPR, and doulbe checked all the wires to make shure there not bare in anyplaces or unpluged.Also checked plug gaps & timming. Everything if good.

Anyone have any sugestions to what I might be over looking.

Cliff notes:
Swapped out after markert IM,fuel rail,TB,FPR
with stock parts.
Car boggs and falls flat on its face under WOT.

One other thing I just did was put my AEM Fuel rail,AEM FPR and Marshall fuel guage back on to make shure I had pressure ( I do).
I also switched out the TB's to make shure the TPS was good (it is).

I'm Stumped.

might have a vacuum leak, check to make sure you IM bolts are torqued down correctly and check for lose hoses. I had the same problem when i switched my IM.

I tried a diffrent ECU, still bogs.

Now I'm just looking at the problem as "WHY IS IT BOGGING", other than, it started doing it after the IM switch.
