well i just finished driving my car still sputters the housing was cracked outside and in and there is no shaft play on the cold side..could it be the fuel or my spark plugs or mabey boost leak??anybody else has this problem??
 
Well it could be a lot of things. Do you have a logger? The logs that you post from that will help us a lot more than you'd think.
 
Start with the simple things first. Check for boost leaks. Put soapy water on your intercooler hoses and see if any bubbles form over them.
After this, change your spark plug wires, they are cheap anyways, and take the car for a spin and see how it does.
If the problem still persists, change your spark plug cables and take it for another spin and report back.
 
Yup good advice above.

BLT (boost leak test)
Check plug gap, replace plugs if necessary
Check plug wires, replace if necessary

Start there and if the problem persists, come back and we'll have some more advice for you.
