it turns out to not be a boost leak. we tested it and found nothing once i got a good tester. here are the things we did check though

plugs, wires, maf, coil pack, and some sensor that has to do with the coil pack. my buddies said it boils down to one of three things, wiring issues, CAS, or ECU. what do you guys think. they seem to think it has something to do with ignition or possibly fuel(though the car is running pig rich and you can smell the fuel while it is running, fuel pump also kicking on as well.) since the car has no boost leaks and good compression. the car stumbles and misses at all ranges on the rpm band. not getting any boost either. dont think it is timing unless it involves the CAS because the belt was on and running fine for at least 6 months. i dont think the belt has skipped any teeth either. any other ideas on what it might be?
