Your power loss is a bit extreme, but the standards to check when ever you have a power problem, idle problem are:
It sounds a lot like the clutch we did tuesday night, you would rev it to 6K and the car just starts moving....... so if your RPMs are going up fast but the speed of the car is not, then its most likely the clutch.

My stock clutch did this when it was really out. It built up to that though, it started slipping little by little then at the end of its life it would not go anywhere until I revved it to about 6k. Turbodemon, did yours just suddenly do this or was it acting up prior to this event?

a little slip here and there then my wife took over the car for about 2 months
wich is where the rest of the clutch went im sure of it now. then one day she tells me the car is REALLY slow and sure enough it was molasses slow.
im betting its the original clutch as well now that the car has hit 65k and i doubt the previous owner changed it.
but the symptoms are just like what u guys say

Don't forget to check the IC pipes, they may have become disconnected causing a huge boost leak. It happened to me, and the car moved very, very very slowly while I got it home.
