Default massive hesitation, cuts out on idle and drives like ****.

Had a hesitation before but was intermittent but now does it all the time ?
Just done a service on it 2000 wrx. New plugs fitted and gapped. New leads.
New coil.
However after service it would start and run but cut out after 10 seconds on idle. tired a spare air flow meter (dont know if this one is any good) starts and idles fine but, when you drive it hesitates and you cant even drive through it, cuts out and cant come on boost. only just about drivable if i stick to 2.3 to 3k, just cant drive it..
Have i disturbed some wires maybe or a sensor ?

This has had a re-map sometime in its life and has been played with etc.
I have since re fitted all old plugs and leads/ coil. Even changed air flow meter back to original and its still the same

Any help would be great.

Sounds like an airflow meter to me , try a KNOWN working airflow meter. The one in the 00 is the cheapest to buy new but also gives the most issues.

Its the same as a B4 legacy aswell
