My FC is chugging along (not good)

When I free rev it, the boost gauge pulls down vacuum pretty hard. When I try to drive, it will go into boost, put the engine misses and sputters so the boost is shaky.

It is getting spark (ask Paul....he knows). I am hoping it is something simple, but I will not know until this weekend when I can get back to it. I plan on bringing a compression gauge along as well. I don't think it is *blown* since I have experience with a blown engine.
