Having some problems with my ecu recently. I noticed after doing my clutch that my turbo timer no longer works. Today my car left me and refused to start. So I jump started it and got home. On my way home the car started to turn off whike running! Popped the clutch and got home without letting my rpms fall. Second I stopped the car it all turned off.

Perhaps a bad relay? Or a bad ground? The simplest thing to do is clean your battery connections real good, make sure they're nice and tight and try again. You could also test what voltage you're seeing at the battery when its running to give an indication that the alternator is working.
 
Dont forget the alternator fuse under the hood too.
 
Make sure you are not leaking any power steering fluid, it will wreck an alternator real quick. I had a leak, thought I fixed it, by the time I realized it was still leaking a little, the alternator crapped out... again.
