Well, with the given info it can be a million things. For starters, hows the condition of your cap/rotor, plugs, wires? Id also check for vacuum leaks. Those kill the performance of any car with a turbo.

Take it to a tuner. If you don't know what's under the hood we won't be able to help; just guess.

Thanks guys for everything!.. i just found the problem, it was the ignition coil fuse. The fuse wasn't in the socket good so it didn't have good connection. Thanx for the help though much appreciate it.
