OK so the plot thickens. so tonight I throw on a valvecover to rad support ground cause i didnt have one. throw in my ecu and chip and boom it starts. I drive it a little and then go back into my driveway and put my boost controller back on. as soon as i connect the vac lines on the manual boost controller (GFB) it taps the firewall and it seems like taht second it turns off

Are you trying to say you think it was grounding through your boost controller? Sounds like you've got a nice short somewhere.

i have no idea. I was also thinking that maybe its the inline radioshack resistors because now when i crank it while it has the problem it smells like gasoline

ok so I pulled the plugs and they are covered in fuel. car has new plug wires, cap and rotor. Put new sparkplugs in and it reved a little better but still was breaking up. Tried my friends chip and it reved smoother and I was able to sort of drive it but it was all bog but was able to boost but then got worse again so i limped it home. any ideas?
