Avant died, still running...

So I took it out and flogged the wagon well today. I did alot of
acceleration up a hill at 1.5 bar and then stomped on the brakes...no
stumbles and it ran fine. It does not seem to be producing full boost
but it has always been like that. It pulls to 1.4 fairly quickly and
sometimes will sneak up to 1.6 but it never goes to a full 1.8. It has a
stage II chip in it as well. I have had the system pressure tested and
it held pressure well. So there are no leaks. I don't know if there
could be any connection between the car dying and the low boost. I
replaced the frequency valve a little while ago. I am tempted to just
replace the fuel pump, to eliminate the variable, but I hate to spend
the money. I can see how the fuel injectors might cause the rough
running at idle, but I don't see how a bad fuel injector would cause the
car to die and not restart. If I don't come up with anything good by
tomorow I think I will take it into the shop.
thanks for all of the help,
