Car wont start and smokes

Ok about a week ago at idle when the car did run o was getting tons of black smoke and running incredibly rich, i took midpipe off to check and see if it was clogged because i also had little to no boost pressure. then i took out the spark plugs and the leading plugs are really black and drenched in gas!! without the midpipe on lots of white smoke and still no start! The car turns over and sometimes sparks but will not start no matter what, also the leading plugs continue to be covered in gas!! My mods are all reliability mods. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

First buy new spark plugs and see if that fixes the problem, if it doesnt, send off your injectors to have them cleaned and flow tested.
