Based on your description there, your ignition timing is wrong.
It's apparently not your only problem, but it needs to be fixed.
The links to dots are for installation only, if anyone tells you to line up the dots to links disregard the poster unless you are reinstalling the timing chain.

To set the mechanical timing get piston 1 TDC on compression stroke.
Verify the dots are at 10 and 12, cam lobes pointing out then count the links between the dots. Then set cas per FSM, after that hit it with a timing light.

Build a boostleak tester, turbo car owner's need one or a way to test for leaks. Also when you get that stuff right, set your fpr and iacv back to factory specs. With most of your settings out of whack you cant know when things get right!
