Angry Need help. installed takeda intake and car won't stay on

Okay I'm tired and I just installed my takeda short ram intake.it sounded great. I felt like I built a damn pyramid or something. I turn on the car no issues. I start to accelerate and at about 4000 rpms. The car begins to sputter and doesn't let me go any faster. It comes to a complete stop. 💩💩💩💩💩😠😠😠
I open the hood..all looks well. I keep trying to start the car but nothing. It turns on but then turns off. I keep trying this then I check all the connections to the sensors. They are all on. I notice that the power cable to the positive side is off. After the avs warnings comes on the dash. I tighten the cable. Keep atvit..then. I was able to keep the car running ro get my ro my house. Once I get there it turns off. Now I try..it stills won't stay on..no other warning comes on...it's late...it's going to try again in the morning. ..I'm just curious as to how I fuc#ed it up... any help will be appreciated





After the install





Removed the old system





The beginning. .

well this is no TLX for sure, but i would assume you have problems with air flow sensor.

HORRIBLE for performance.

I really could not find that much out there for this car. Mine is a base model so it has limits from what I have read on these posts. There wasn't an icebox or complete cold air intake. Next is a new exhaust system.
