Ok I've had mechanic look at my car. they thought it was the fuel pump but that turned out ok. At first my car would seem like its flooded. then After a while it would start and then die a few sec later. Then we unpluged an pluged back some of the fuses in the box by the air filter. And then the car started to run normaly. Then I took it for a drive and it would stumble and seem like the engine's chocking at about 2500rpm. You can tell when it's gonna start because the turbo gauge will go to the 0 before I turn the key and then it'll start. BUt it won't when the gauge does't move. This all started when I once hit the E-brake.

I also noticed that I have oil in the spark plug wells which I think I wasted in the valve cover once.

could this be an electrical problem
 
I had this problem before and it turned out to be a boost leak from the throttle body, the shaft seals were shot. The way to check for a boost leak is build a home made tester, or buy one off of ebay or something if you dont want to build one.

After checking my leaks I found another one from the injector seal, so that could be why you are stumbling and stalling, my car did the exact same thing until I replaced them

They are cheap to replace, the only time consuming thing is if you have to replace the thottle body shafts seals that will take longer cuz you have to take apart the whole thing. Refer to VFAQ if this is your problem. Hope this helps! :thumb:
