Default at a loss

ok i have no clue what the heck is wrong with the car, i changed the ICM the MAF and got a new coil pack for the cylender that had the missfire.. it still runs like ****. on decelloration its all funny if there is a heavy load on the motor, like in 4th gear if you are at half throttle or more on decelloration it like hickups and jerks.. sometimes its smooth though. also sometimes on acelloration the car has massive missfires or thats what i think it is, the boost goes nuts it pops fire shoots out my tail pipes and the car dosent want to go anywhere.. any one have any ideas as to where i sould go from hear.. thought maybe i might have an injector that is sticking open, going to change those next.. any thoughts

have you upgreaded the fuel pressure regulator to take into account of your mods?? sounds like you run out of fuel at high revs like hitting the rev limiter

check the timing belt hasn't jumped a tooth or two, putting that much pressure on the engine could have do that
