Default HELP Car wont stay on - Problem solved

I need help big time. Basically the car turns on and as long as I dont stop pressing the gas it will strugle to stay on. I had removed the charge pipe with filter as I was trying to readjust the pipe. ZPI stage one. I also did remove the map sensor but plugged it in with out damaging it. All connections are plugged. I was able to drive it first and second but it shuts down as soom as I let go of the gas. I have no idea what is wrong. All advice is appreciated since I'm suppose to be somwhere in a couple of hours.

Check all the couplers around your intercooler piping going in and out of it. If those come loose there's ur problem. I had a similar issue, scared me ____eless but that's all it was. Your MAF is reading air coming in, but that air isn't making it to the throttle body it sounds like unless you floor it. I ono for sure though.

Yeah check all of your couplings. Just out of curiosity, what does your vac gauge read?

Thanks for the advice I was able to fix the problem. It seems that the MAf did not like the air filter being very close to it. I put the airfilter further away and re tightend all of the couplers and bingo it worked. Thanks again all for the quick responses,
