Lost all top end power after EGR

Lost all top end power after EGR
Been a while since I have been here but I thought I should ask the specialists.
02 Type S, have been having issues with Misfires and P1399 which was a pending fault. I took off the top of the intake manifold and cleaned those ports with brake cleaner. Double checked the gasket to make sure it was installed correctly and the ports are not blocked. Now the car seems to be working harder to pull air into the engine as its louder or more prominent. Throttle response down low seems to have improved but now all the top end is gone and the car fights to make power. Seems like something is being choked out? Pedal also seems to be a bit stiffer but I am not sure if imagining things. Any help as always is appreciated.

Disassemble the air filter box and look for any foreign objects, I once left a few rags near the intake tubing and ended up at the filter restricting air flow.
Also verify the IMRC system is working (Type S)

Did you ever fix this issue ? If not check all 6 ignition coils by removing them and looking for oil in the spark plug well or any liquid in there if found needs to be cleaned and repaired.
