Unhappy Help boost gauge reads 10psi dump valve goes off but no power?

Hi all how are you,

Please if there is a God of RS Turbos can someone help me!! I spent the whole of saturday removing the head of my MFI S2 to put a gasflowed one bought on eBAY only to find the casting was different so i then rebuilt the original head last night and put it back in today with new gaskets etc, now it seems i have caused yet more problems as it runs and drives but there is no power at all, the boost gauge flies right up and the dump valve blows off but i havent hardly moved anywhere, theres more power in my brothers 1.1 saxo. GOD DAMN RS TURBOS DONT YOU JUST WONDER WHY YOU BOTHER SOMETIMES!!! So please if theres anyone out there with any suggestions it would be MASSIVELY APPRECIATED.

CheeRS to all, Steve.

check you have put all vacuum pipes back on properly and that there are no air leaks on any of the boost pipes or manifold gaskets
