Ok, so now that the boost problem is fixed....Here's the deal: The day I bought the car I was told it has a Stage 2 Clutchmasters clutch, sprung I believe he said. On the way home on the highway, I was doin 60 in 5th gear at 3000rpm. I accelerated but the rpms rose and no increase in vehicle speed. It stalled when I put it in gear after I got off the off ramp and it stalled. Got it home, but the clutch let out at the top of the pedal, not where it did when I first took it out of the dudes driveway. Then it wouldn't grab at all. So I bled the clutch, and it was fine, occasionally going soft and stiffening, but there was no air in at all after I bled it. Today, actually, 10 minutes ago, I went to leave and it had no pressure and wouldn't go in gear period. I tested it by putting it in first and turning it on and it moved forward. I don't think the clutch is bad, I'm thinking its either the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder, any suggestions or tests I can try to see if my theory is correct? Any help would be great. Thanks a bunch.

Edit: I took it out of the driveway but it was occasionally losing pressure. I really think its a master or slave cylinder.
 
It actually sounds like your clutch may be going out not gone but out.... if your in 5th gear and you floor it and the rpms rise but no increase in speed then that means your clutch is slipping and is not engaging under pressure...
