Default any VW experts?

i have a 90 corrado g60
i just put a new engine and gcharger in
hooked everything up where it was on the old engine
it starts up and sounds like its running on 2 cylinders
then slowly dies every time

what could this be?
the timing is correct
i have new plugs injectors and fuel rail
i check spark on all clylinders and its gettin fuel to all also

also when it is running i try to give it throttle and it does nothing
hellllp

a weak fuel pump would certainly do it.... you know an oil pressure guage willwork {in a pinch}

you should do a compresion test on all four cylanders to see if any of them are messed up becuase often times when you buy a used vw engine the best thing to do is to get all new piston rings and seals and do a ocmpresion test hope it helps
