The ECU frying would have nothing to do with what conditions you are describing. Unless you have some sort of electric boost gauge, a mechanical boost gauge takes all it's readings directly from the source of vacuum attached at the base and monitors boost and vacuum mechanically.

I dont have an aftermarket gauge im using the stock gauge but neway I rather fix the boost problem because I could always buy a new oil pump if thats the case.

If you did ground out the postive cable i would check some of the fuses under the hood before pulling out the ecu. The vacuum leak could be the throttle seals as these are 18 year old cars. Also check to make sure the vacuum line to the gauge is good and not leaking. As for the coolant temp. guage going crazy what do you mean by that?

Im drawing oil from the oil filter housing. The coolant temp gauge was reading normal than when I reved the engine was flickin up and down fast and the oil gauge was going up and down too. That problem could also wait just thought I should mention it just incase it has anythin to do with what's goin on.
