Do some searching. Have you checked your ECU, injectors, what did your old plugs look like?

Boost leak test, vac test.

Test your injectors: turn your car on let it idle and take the injector cap off 1 by 1 and see if you notice a change. If not that injector is most likly bad.

As far at the ECU goes take it out, open it up and search for any signs of corrosion or broken caps.
