im really starting to hate my car

Here is the deal.
2 weeks ago car would not start, sprayed carb cleaner into throttle body, it starts.
Ever since then it has had starting problems.
Before anyone write it off as compression, it was able to only lose to a 500+ rwhp supra by about 4-6 cars from 70-160mph.
Drove fine Saturday(hit 160mph again with same Supra).
Parked it, came out to start it again(only off for about 10min) would not start. Spray in carb cleaner again, get it to start.
The only problem is that it is smoking like a big dog
You can hit boost in 1st, 2nd sometimes, no way in the top 3 gears. It just sputters. Idle is fine, has good vacume, makes good power if you can get it in boost. Plugs are 2 weeks old, they appear to be fine, both coils are firing.
Other symptoms
open the oil cap, and it smokes
backfires alot, i mean loud *** backfires.

Just registered for NOPI, now my car is messed up

car is far from stock, check homepage for mods
