Car just died?

OK. From the beginning. I got off work get in the 7 start her up, start fine about 30sec later just dies like some one turned the key off. WTF? i think to my self. turn her over dose not want to start, pump the gas and she comes to life then dies again, i do this about 5 more times then all of a sudden she starts and keeps running like nothing happened. WTF? Ok now i am a little worried so i let her warm up just ideling there listening for any weird noises. i hear none so i leave. She drives fine as long as i don't give her any boost. Another WTF? WHen ever i try and boost her she jerkes real bad. limp her home and now at the very top of a very big hill, i am in 3rd gear 3500rpm she dies agian, like some one turned the key off again. coast her to my street, thank god it is on the down hill slope. do the same thing i did before to get her started. she finally comes to life drive her to my house let her idel no smoke of any kind but now i hear this little buzzing wirring noise i have never hear before coming from the enigne. my mods are the following

streetport
intake
full exhaust
ported wastgate
had a gold box took a **** on me, but it is still plugged in(bad?)

I think that is everything. anyone want to impart some of there wisdom?
thanks Erik

don't pump the gas on a fuel injected car, thats for sure man... its a fuel related problem though, check fuel pump and fuel fuses and relays and run a ECU check to see what engine light codes come up if your check engine light is on..

if you give it wot then you will shut the injetors off so by pumping the gas you are cutting the injetors on and off, and this made the car start. this still dose not answer why i can not boost now.
