It seemed to drive fine with no dash lights or errors coming up. When stationary if I rev the engine it seems to barely rev either.

As I accelerate the car produces a very low amount of power

Hey DBATCH1992,
It sounds like you could have a restriction in the intake or exhaust or a boost leak.
Have you checked the engine air filter?
Is there any reason you would have damaged the exhaust system prior to this fault?
Have you checked for engine management fault codes?

I do not have the specifics for your vehicle here but if you can provide us with a list of fault codes we can try and advise you on potential causes.
I would advise checking the connections of the air intake pipes are tight and you don't have any damage to any of the boost pipes.
A sign of a boost leak is oil residue around the intake piping.
Also check through the front bumper for signs of damage to the inter-cooler, again a leak would be seen generally by oil being present.
Let us know what you find.
Regards, Joe
