Ill start from the beginning. I bought the car in 2013 with a little less than a thousand miles on it (the gm of the dealership drove it as his personal car for a few weeks). Ive been great on maintenance, changed oil every 3-5k and always brought it to the dealer to have any repairs done. 2 months ago the car started overheating and it didnt blow hot air at idle so brought it in and they said it was the heater core. It cost a little more than 3k for parts and labor. they did the heater core, thermostat and new battery. I got the car home and the next day it overheated again so it brought it back. at the end of it all they said that its the water pump and it will cost 4k. i told them ill do it myself and i started ordering the necessary parts. A water pump and timing chain kit with all the chains and tensioners, oil and all the rest of the odds and ends. The engine has 110k so i also did the head gaskets and head bolts. So i tore the engine out of the car and got to work. So now i got the car running and it seems fine while it idles, it even blows hot air while idling. It seems to run fine while it idles and even if you just drive at like 15 mph it seems fine but if you give it gas it seems to only have mabey 10% of the power it had before and it shutters while accelerating. I have not got the car past 30 mph at this point. I also have codes P0016 and p0236. Cam sensor and turbo boost sensor. I switched cam sensors and its the same code so i know its not the actual sensor and the boost sensor is still giving me a headache. I don't know exactly which sensor it is so i cleaned all three. The one in the airbox, the one before the throttle body, and the one on top the intake manifold. I checked the wiring and grounds and all seems to be good. I need help brainstorming this, the cam timing code may be me installing the timing belt one tooth off but i double checked that all the dots and marks lined up and the boost sensor i have no idea. It didnt have this before i started this project. At this point i could use all the help and suggestions i can get. I put new spark plugs in it, and put in new transmission fluid. I drained out as much as i could get and put in new motorcraft. I checked the fluid level and i am over so im going to drain some out here in a little while and hope that helps.
Also, The turbos look somewhat ok to me. the one in the rear had a little play in the turbo shaft but not much, the other one had none. I was thinking about ordering new turbos from ebay(a set is like 600) and also a new intercooler as ive read that intercoolers can cause issues. Please let me know what you think and also are there any upgrades that i should do while i have this thing tore apart for the second time
