Default 2000 s4 feeling slugish

Just was wondering if any of you guys have had your cars feeling and driving slugish? I have done alot of work and had alot of work done on the car over the winter. New turbos, innercoolers,Complete transmission rebuild, new clutch assembly,clutch master, clutch slave,radiator, timing belt job with every little thing done, alternator, starter, engine mounts, auxilary water pump, abs pump and module, brake pads, new hoses, everything flushed(hydrolic,cooling,brakes). I guess the only thing i havent touched yet is the fueling system....Any ideas on the lack of power. Maybe I'm expecting too much? Everything is done like it was stock. Boost leaks possible? Is there anything in the computer that would let me know there is a boost leak or is this just something I'm gonna have to figure out? The only code that is coming up is the air intake sensor. I was gonna get it chipped soon but I wanted to get all the kinks out first.

well dude i dont know what to tell you, after all of that it should be running perfectly. maybe you are just expecting too much like you said. id just look around for the things you mentioned and if all seems well then youll know that your just expecting too much. try doing a 40 mph drop to 2nd gear and see if it still feels slugish. haha

I agree with the compression test...

But in addition, and even perhaps first, you should do a test forboost leaks- and also with all the other stuff you've done you should get a boost gauge installed to help see if you're running the correct amount of boostat all times.

Good luck.
