I think everyone here will need more information on your setup to be able what is really going on, so list your setup and what motor its on.
Also what are you running for fuel??

are you running check valves or the missing link map sensor? If you are running check valves, they most likely took a **** on you and you will need to replace them. Also just out of curiosity, what motor do you have and are you throwing any codes?

it is a drag 3 kit with a tial wastegate, greddy bov and fmu, walboro fuel pump, it does not boost at all, it seems like its working against itself, i have no freaking idea but its really pissing me off , there is no boost leaks, its not the air either, revving in neutral air gets blown off from the bov but not what it should be, i dont know!!!!!!

my car would boost like crazy for about 5 or 6 runs, then feel sluggish... i found it was heat soak... everything was hotter than hell so i'd spray the i/c down with some icee cold water and then she'd boost again
maybe that's not your problem but a possible easy fix.

sounds like you've got too mcuh fuel in there... my car would do that a lot and i was running below a 10:1 
(the wideband would go only to 10:1... then it would shut off, so wahtever i was at was less than 10:1)

i had the factory ngkr's in there when i was running perfect, i put autolite platinums in , they are the same gap, .44 i think , and the same heat range, shouldnt be that , it was running great with the fatory plugs in it
