Running very rich

Well I just replaced my head gasket and CPS, got the car running went out with a buddy of mine, car is running great. So I'm on my way back, some ass keeps trying to race me and I finally give in. So I going; not too hard, nothing past 5.5K, then the car sputters and stalls. I get the car off the road and am like WTF! I pop the hood, nothing apears out of place (11pm, cant see shit) So I start the car back up and you can tell its running very rich, not only can you smell the gas but the car is idleing at 500 instead of 900. Since I was not going to walk home in the freezing cold I drove my car home and anytime I went above 1.5k it stalled.

I am not 100% sure what it is but I think the intercooler hose to the turbo came lose. I dont know if that could be the cause but it it could be then It would be a very easy fix, anyway I will be working on it tomorrow so any imediate advice would be greatly appreciated.
