Unhappy Problem starting car..Please help

i have a 88' t2 and for some odd reason she just wont start. my mods are as follow..

-fmic
-550cc primary, 720cc secondary
-walbro fuel pump
-racing beat turbo catback
- jacobs ignition pack

before this all happened, my car was acting up on me. when id step on the gas pedal, i felt lack of power. when i hit 0 on the boost gauge, the car stutters (it feels like i hit a brick wall), then i i hear the turbo spooling but im not accellerating as it normally would. now the car is at my girlfriends house. the car cranks and fires right up, then it just dies.

so far i have changed fuel pump, fuel filter, injectors, and changed oil. im thinking im not getting enough fuel pressure, i will be shecking that shortly. any suggestions to help me out?

would the crank angle sensor be a possible problem?

thanks for looking.

check your vacuum lines and look for any obvious leaks.

Make sure your AirFlowMeter is plugged in.
