All your sensors are connected again by the looks of it? I really don't know! Switch back to the standard box and see if that puts it out!

Get an OBII Port reader on it and scan the codes. It'll pinpoint the fault and minimise the guesswork. You can get a hand held off ebay for £35-40 or an iphone compatible one for £15-20.

Worthwhile investment.

Eml is common with ebay kits on most cars. Filter is crap, intake dimensions are completely wrong, giving completely wrong air/fuel mix. Combine that with the heatsoak from having an open cone next to a hot engine, add more heatsoak as the filter frame is metal and will be hot to touch, this crap will be loosing a chunk of power.
