i installed a walbro 255lph fuel pump and drove my car after that with no problems i turned the boost up to 16-17 on my 16g turbo and stock injectors i heard a high pitched noise at full boost i shut my radio off and hit full boost again after that my car ran rough and shut off now i can drive until 2000rpms and if my foot is not on the gas the car shuts off i need help this is my DD
 
Running more than 10 PSI on a 16g is a really bad idea. You might be able to get away with 11 with no problem on a small 16g but honestly. I wouldn't push it.

I also agree you might have blown intercooler couplers. I'd check those, but when those pop off they usually sound more like an explosion. Kind of like a tire blowing out.

If that did happen the reason your car wouldn't die with your foot on the gas is you are giving it vacuum pressure where as when you let off it loses pressure then stalls and dies.
