i can get some 7 mm ngks at napa for 40 bux. Why doesnt this sound right.. I ran into a load of problems today. It was "running" like a champ last night... but that was last night

Today, i had filled up the tank with some ol SA 92 octane. Drove around.. pushin my stock boost a bit.. Havin a good old time by myself on CR42.. I went to qpr.. got some parts for my car ( tensioners, balance shaft belt, GOOD alternator peice, and front motor mount). When i went to leave.. the damn thing wouldnt start

So mike busts out the lil car starter thing and she fired up.. reved it so it would stay alive.. drove it home.. let it cool off.. parked it.. Put the alternator peice in.. went to bring the GF home and she wouldnt boost right. the stock guage says 7psi ( i know its not accurate). I kept trying a little here and there.. I dropped her off. On the way home, i was a little more fearless.

I knew my buddy was meeting me so if the car broke, at least id have a ride. So i kept tryin to boost it.. 3.. 4.. maybe 5 gears.. Then i went and stopped at the store.. let it run while i was in there. Came out, went on the road and i couldnt get past 3k or it would BOG LIKE HELL. ( not fuel cut type). Then i noticed all of my lights flickering with my blinkers.. The radio was flippin out, turning on n off.. etc. I struggled to get home and i finally did.

I parked in the drive way, let it cool off.. went in and opened up the garage door. The fucker wouldnt start. I could just hear the selinoid clickin fast as hell when i turned the key. The windshield wippers would barely move etc.

I have gotten 1 opinion on what the possible issues are, and i would like to gain some more before i go off buyin parts with the last of my paycheck. Any accurate scenerios would be appreciated. Sorry for all of the details, i just didnt want to miss anything.
