Default more problems

well, let me start form the beginning, over the course of this week, i have replaced my front suspension, my PCV system, and all my vacuum lines. Also installed a strut brace, and had her aligned. Throughout this whole process i have come across many difficulties, many have been resolved, yet, on my test drive i found some most troublesome problems, the two that i really need imput on now (besides the ghost lights) is that on my first test drive my gas pedal stuck down when floored it,my gas pedal stuck downand i had to reach down and pull it up. quite disturbing. The second problem is that my turbo made really loud, and higher pitched than normal sounds due to the vacuum line (attatched to the bottom side of the intake side of the turbo popping off). i sucured the vacuum line, and on my second test drive, my turbo seems to have "lost power' if you will, and i could not hear it during revving. This is of great concern to me, i fear that i may have over spooled my turbo. i know this is a vague description, but does anyone have any similiar experiences?

The gas pedal problem has to do with the floor mat holding it down or the pedal bad. Since your car does not have a throttle cable.

For the turbo I wonder if you crossed one of the hoses and have it wrong.
