Well first off I have had this problem for a while now and can't find the answer When I start my car it sounds like it's missing in a cylinder and when driving it and right about when it's hitting boost it will sputter. Any help I'd really appreciate it guys, thanks!
 
And I did a boost leak test with a homemade tester and couldn't find anything, I'm not sure where to get a legit tester
 
Oh you know what else it could be... you might have lost the boost source to the fuel pressure regulator. Without it your pressure doesn't rise with boost and you... sputter with boost. Happened to me when I forgot to reconnect the line after some work.
 
I do have a real boost gauge but it only works sometimes (needs rewired) and ngk plugs, I don't have a air/fuel ratio gauge but what it sounds like is it's getting to much fuel but I'm not quite sure how to check timing and TSiAWD666 Tell me a little more
