Angry new clutch/flywheel and major issue

Few weeks ago i purchased a new clutch and flywheel from BHR and everything that I needed along with it.

I had it installed last week and drove the car 4 times, it sat over the weekend and this morning the car is barely moving the rpm go up and down, and when i give it gas its very laggy, it starts going very rough and the rpms jump and drop again. so i turned around and parked it, any ideas as to whats going on?

no, it idles fine its starts great, just when i put it in gear its got a loss of power. no CEL. i left it sitting there and started it again while waiting for my gf to take me to work, and once again it started without any problems.

I put it in reverse and it actually went great, drove it for about 5 mins 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear were good went to put gas, about 200 yards from my house and it started doing it again.

we did have a lot of rain this weekend and moisture, i dont know if that has anything to do with it. im gonna call the people that installed it and see what they say.
