Pull the codes out of the ECU.

I have experienced that sort of issue when I was having problems with a knock sensor going bad. It would pull all my timing which would neuter the car, even though I was making boost.

If it is an S13 SR, there is a small knob on the ECU, you turn it with a crewdriver, and it will then flash a code at you via a LED on the side of the unit. You can google the exact procedure.
