Angry Car runs like crap!!!

Ok so i get 550 inj, z32 maf, and safc. Start the car with a 2 in and 6 out, its runs great...then i go and get it tuned and get back home, start the car and it rruns like ****! (i did get dissapointing results which i believe reflect a problem) i notice the bov is blowing air at idle, so i fix this. Im assuming this is what causing my crappy idle and performance. Well i fixed it today and the car still idles and runs like crap. I dont know if the tune is just that ****ty or what but something is wrong. Also i dont know if this attributes to anything, But i noticed for the first time, oil came out of that little nipple on the bottom of the throttle body ( i believe its for the stock sidemount). And my vaccuum is lower than usual but all hoses are connected. So please people enlighten me!

550s are fine on an safc, they are not the problem... check your orings, maf, o2 sensor, water temp sensor etc

ok so heres what i have done:

boost leak test - good
compression test - 140 all across
new spark plugs - good
tested coil packs - good
checked all vaccuum lines - good
no smoking at all

car still runs like crap and is extremely slow...sounds like a bad misfire or like its running on 3 cylinders..

Now i am completely stumped, anymore ideas people before i take it to a shop and get ripped off??

just to let everyone know, i finally got my car fixed. Apparently an injector wasnt dialed in correctly which was causing cyl #2 to no receive any fuel. Thanks for the help.
