I'm no turbo guru but if the head isn't hooked up then bogging wouldn't surprise me. What does surprise me is that it runs with the head "not hooked up."

Have him install and hook everything up correctly, then come back here if your having any problems.
Don't expect an answer when his **** is half assed.

mini-mes are NOTORIOUS for having a BOG to them without propper tuning. He needs to get it tuned and hook up the vtec. should see some good results.
