Your running Peak and Hold Injectors without a Resistor Box? Yeah, you def need a Resistor Box. They are like 25 Dollars on ebay. Buy one and then wire it up.

And yes, you will require a new tune. You will prolli be able to get more aggresive on your tune and make more horse power.

If it has peak and holds and no resistor box (or injector driver)...something aint right. usually that will fry the ECU.
You can get resistors from Radio Shack or one off an Accord, Prelude, Civic, Integra, DSMs... They all work. I have gotten a couple free before from my local junkyard. They shouldn't charge anyone more than $5.

U guys think it's possible for a clogged fuel filter to cause bogging

buddy ive seen you post a bunch of questions and you never seem to get them resolved. if i was you id find a local import shop thats recommended and have them look it over. im sure there is someone near you.. or even a competent garage guru should be able to help you. but ya keep asking tons of questions and nothing seems to come of it. just tryin to help ya out man. just sounds like an expert needs to look this car over.

alternatively, if you arent comfortable with the wiring, you could just install some saturated injectors. then you dont need a box. either way i would get a re-tune and possibly find a new tuner. he should have spotted that you didnt have the proper fuel setup before tuning.

i would like to know who tuned it the first time or even how they managed to tune it correctly the fuel tables must look like trash. ignition timing, and fuel curves will be completely different once you put a resistor box in so yea id say you need a tune after.

I heard it's possible to tune the injectors through the ecu makes up for a resistor box is this tru

i think you would be risking damaging the ecu. get a box or get different injectors. do it correctly or you are going to continue to have problems

if it runs with the resistor box maybe id make sure it never boost and have your waste gate arm held open if its an internal waste gate. if not i wouldn't install the waste gate untill u got there

you need to take a step back and fix one problem at a time. you did a compression test incorrectly, you cant use those results at all.

having the injectors wired worng wont blow your engine but it may burn a circuit on the ecu. just the injectors corrected and get a retune before making any other assumptions
