cant solve a Problem on a Turbo Rx8?

I have a 6- speed turbo Mazda rx-8. I am currently running the greddy turbo t618z greddy e-manage and a Greddy Evo TT exhaust. Ran the car on turbo maintained it well. A couple weeks ago it has not been building power. Idle is weak , have to pump the gas alot just to get it moving on top of that every time i let off the gas it pops from exhaust at low Rpms which it has never done before. I cant really explain the sound it makes but i do hear a small rattling and on idle it sounds like somethings wrong with the injectors or its letting air out somewhere. basically not alot of power is being made and as i accelerate it rattles and i get power cuts and alot of stalling on idle often feels rough. Its alot of different scenarios and my first time dealing with rotary. Dunno what the problem is at the moment but if anyone has experienced this b4 any info would be greatly appreciated.

Rattling could be detonation maybe? Does it only happen under boost? You got a lot of add on electronics. I used to know this dude who could whip up a killer turbo kit for any car but he couldn't wire for crap. You could have a piece of bad wiring somewhere and maybe some of the piggyback gizmos aren't compensating for the boost properly.
