OK so I've been lookign everywhere I can for a solution I've pretty much gone through almost everything, anyways I'll explain.

I did my first test drive of my car today , we finally received the spark plug wires (NGK) for my car. We installed them but I still hear arcing inside where the plugs are there spark plugs are brand new and I took them out to check for cracks and also cleaned the carbon off ### my car was running super rich before I got my AFPR. Anyways long story short I decided to test drive my car anyways (btw my idle never has been right but was better then it used to be before the wires , also the ISC was checked by my mecanic and he says it check out).

I drove the car and it was going super good to my surprise well aside from the idle not being able to make up its mind. I went back put my timing belt cover back on (wich I had to modify ### of the AFPR). Long story short at the end of the day when I decided to head home the car started acting super weird I coudve sworn it was possesed, it would start to try and die (even thought the alternator and battery are brand new). Also when I pressed the gas in gear wouldn't go over 2k rpm.

At this point I don't even know what to do anymore (also there doesnt seem to be any big leaks).I have recently bought an ecu wich sent to ECM tunning to get ecm link I have it brand new but I didn't want to install it yet before my car ran good I don't know If I should.(another little note my oxygen sensor in the front is brand new).

I appreciate any help or comments thanks in advance.
 
I think it's a boost leak. Is your timing good?

I'm a dsm and forced induction noob but that's what it sounds like.
