    So the Zed is doing all sorts of weird shizz..... Go to start it and it cranks over fine, but once its going its not right. If i sit there with my foot hard to the ground it coughs and sputters and wont rev at all, but as soon as i take my foot off it goes up to 2000RPM and then stalls. Blows a fair amount of black smoke... :/ mechanic cousin thinks spark plugs and maybe injectors. Any thoughts?

    So it was driving OK & then this problem occurred?
    Have you checked for fault codes?

    start here,
    Check Fault Codes, Cas, Ptu, Injector Connectors, Coil Pack connectors, Boost (vac) Leaks. TPS, IACV

    It sounds like you may have blown a hose off somewhere between the turbo & the intake. See if you can build pressure with a boost leak test.

    If you suspect bad plugs pull and inspect them.
