Punctuation dude...... had to read your post a few times over to see what you were REALLY trying to say.

By "tacked it up" Im guessing you mean accelerate at WOT. Give more info, has it ever done this before? Do you have any mods? Are you running an FCD *fuel cut defender*?

first, did you do the compression test correctly?

most people see 90 on one face of the rotor and think everything is fine, even if you have a small chip in one of your seals and getting 60psi on 2 faces you will have **** poor drivability around town and slow revving.. does the car idle on its own or shake at idle?

second place i would look is for a faulty catalytic converter, exhaust trying to squeeze out of a straw is going to make the engine run like *** so inspecting them might be a good idea. last thing i would check is the turbo, make sure it spins freely, could have siezed up on ya which would make the car run slower than a non turbo 7.
