Sounds like you may have blown your pressure regulator or damper (both under the intake plenum next to the firewall on the ends of the fuel rails). That's my thought.

Take off the intercooler, and look under there and see if you got some fuel. If so, DO NOT TRY AND START THE CAR your looking at a very dangerous and costly situation.

Sounds like you do have a fuel system leak somewhere. It remove the IC and upper intake and see whats up. This is a good time to go ahead and replace fuel lines, filter, repair/replace the pulsation damper on the fuel rail, and replace all vacuum lines with new or silicone. Trust me it is worth it. IF you dont find a leak the car is probably flooded. Do a search on flooding.
