Did either of you guys figure this out?

I swapped my valve cover gasket to try to fix some smoking in the engine bay, got these:

29F3 Faulty Low Fuel Pressure Sensor
2A87 Outlet-Vanos variable cam control test, mechanics
3100 low boost mode engaged -- CEL displayed

Cleaned the VANOS solenoids to try to fix, swapped intake and exhaust to see if the one was faulty.

Now after that the car went into serious limp (and ran like a tractor) mode and the codes got quite a bit worse:

29F3 Faulty Low Fuel Pressure Sensor
29CD Misfirings, cylinder 1
29D1 Misfirings, cylinder 5
29D0 Misfirings, cylinder 4
2A7C No Description Found
0000 Unknown Fault
0000 Unknown Fault
3100 low boost mode engaged -- CEL displayed

Next steps are to change the oil, new solenoids, replace that sensor and hope.
