Seconded on the boost leak check. It happened to me a couple times in the past and the result was usually a coupler that decided it didn't want to stay where it should.
 
could it be my sparkplug wires 1 of them the inside is stuck to sparkplug but the plug would come off

also no matter how much gas i give it never goes positive psi

thats because the leak is not allowing the system to build enough pressure.

also your MAS is seeing all this air coming in, and none of it is making it to the engine because its all getting pushed out of a leak into the atmosphere.
 
Yup yup. Boost leak. You blew a coupler or something. Check EVERYTHING from the MAF to the Throttle Body.
