The manifold swelling when you give it throttle is normal, I've had 24v e30s exhibit that behavior. Some manifolds have more 'ribs' than others and are probably stronger and won't deform.
Run the codes on the car to check for a bad O2 sensor, if it's not that and you're idling fine then I'd start the troubleshooting.
Did you connect the vacuum valve at the booster backwards? That would keep you from getting assisted brakes. Also, this may sound silly but did you adjust the fork at the booster to the proper distance so that it's not applying the brakes without your foot on the pedal?

If not though, and you get yours sorted out, bring it to Mt Tremblant August 9th, we'll get it on. Otherwise we can line up all the way to limit + 10. :)
