Default Tuned my car.... Dies after few blocks when done

Finally got to re-tune my car. (My last tune was TRASH)!! car was running like a champ on the dyno. made 293whp and 207 on the 18g!!!!!! at 11 psi. !!!!!! (gsr motor) i was suprise that turbo made that much power.
Anyways.... as i was leaving the shop, drove a few blocks and my car dies.. checked everything found out wasnt getting any sparks, changed the whole distrubuter, still nothing. check all fuses, called the shop they told me it was the ecu.

what you guys think.?????

the reason why the shop thinks its a bad ecu also, is becuase the previous shop who chipped the s300 had a bad reputation of messing up ecu. they said they had to fix a lot of there mistakes.
