do you have a stock ecu or a chipped ecu?
its probly your base map it wont read boost..it will but not that much try turning your boost down to like 5 or 6 lbs and go from there. let use know if that fixed the falling on its face problem

Is your car tuned?

What size injectors are you running?

Stop driving. Pick up a base map from phearable.net or another reputable tuner or simply get to a tuner asap.

WOW DUDE, can you read? your saying the shits not working, then you say your arent tuned, so that throws a red flag up to everyone and you get told, "Hey, stop driving". whats do you do? "man s**t dont work when i slam on the pedal..."

sweet berjebus. go to a tuner, and get your car running right before you decide to start hammering on it.

Take the advice from others. I wouldn't drive it until you get it tuned. Unless you want to damage your motor (if you already haven't). My friend supercharged his V8 Dakota and drove it untuned.. lasted him a week. $6000 and a new motor later, the supercharger is now sitting on his basement floor.

Get it tuned, or you WILL damage the motor.

you wanted help right? we're trying to help you... get it tuned, and it will run 100x better.

He doesn't need a fuel rail.

Driving the car at all, whether it is hard or not is the worst decision you could make. If you don't have the money to tune it now, I sure hope you have another car to drive b/c you need to park it. Doesn't matter what spring or boost or anything, just stop. Get a good engine management system, i personally like my S300, and get it tuned @ a good reputable shop, and do it now!
