another one of those no start threads!
alright so here it is. my car has been down for about a months time while i was redoing all of my vacuum lines, deleting my air pump, putting in my midpipe, pulley kit, power fc/waiting on parts in that time frame. the other day i finally got everything i needed and put it all back together. started first try with no issues. idled great after the ecu learnt and was running great. took it out for the evening/ night and had no issues. the next day i take it out for a rip and i do a pull in 2nd gear. i hit 6000 rpm and its like i hit a brick wall and it wouldnt go any higher so i let off the gas to pull over to see if maybe one of my vacuum lines popped off, but as soon as i let off the gas the car died. i have not been able to get it started since..
so i have spark on all four plugs, fuel and compression. checked all of my vacuum lines and routing, am running a 10-8-10 boost pattern (not overboosting) new plugs, tried the stock ecu, tried de-flooding it numerous times, push starting it. tested the injectors with grounding them out at the ecu and they all clicked on and off. tried different spark plugs just in case, fuel pump works fine as well.
so yeah the car turns over. but seems to flood cuz it wont fire. but the spark plugs do in fact spark. is there something i am missing? i am still leaning towards a leaking injector but maybe there's something else..
also i did notice my exhaust temp light come on not too long before my car died. which with the pfc is your knock/injector duty warning light. read up and said that it comes on if u go over 75% of the injector duty. correct me if im wrong! but if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

So you have good compression? I'd be worried that your 2nd gear rip --- ripped your engine... The PFC wasn't tuned yet? With a midpipe you risk overboost based on your modification list. Check your Intercooler hoses, sometimes they split. I'd also check your MAP sensor to make sure it is still on. Hitting a brick wall usually sounds like a vacuum line popping off or losing an apex seal...
