no it doesn't matter how much fuel is in it..and yes its lagging on power and puking out a bunch of smoke i can't drive it without fogging up the road behind me i figured out the reason for all the smoke was because i need that mechanic wastegate boost controller to bypass my vaccum system but haven't got to fix it yet..but then this problem started occuring i have been told it could be my throttle positioning sensor or (tps)

Did you fill up recently?? May have gotten a batch of bad fuel (it happens) and it clogged the filter enough.

Top of the fuel tank, then change out the fuel filter. Be sure to dump the fuel out from the old filter into a container. This way you can see if there isn't a fatal amount of water and dirt being drawn from the tank.

not being able to hold a constant rpm is a sign your ip is going out but you have other problems so it could be anything
