Unhappy got a problem with idle and accleration

while i was on the highway i tried to acclerate the car but it was really rough... sort of bumpy... definintly not smooth.... and it only hit 8lbs of boost... then when i got off my exit... it idle'd like crap.... but it never shut off. well i got it home look in the engine bay.... no oil, and no coolant anywhere.... so i jack up the car... take out my spark plugs.... the plugs on the first rotor are black as anything.... the ones on the second rotor look white and brown and black... my friend said my coil packs were out.... and another guy said my o2 sensor was out... so i need some help... any suggestions?

Please list relevant mods....

A bad o2 sensor could lead to bucking/surging under cruise and light throttle but has no effect on medium to high loads.

The white coloring does NOT sound good...

WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE KEEP RUNNING THESE MODS ON THE STOCK ECU!

Damn, the research was done years ago so us relatively newer owners didn't have to go through motors and some of you are ignoring it! And guess what? Boom!

Time for a compression check.
