Rough idle, check engine light...

I've got a '92 9000T 5-speed. Purchased a Swedish Dynamics APC upgrade. Installed Bosch Platinum's gapped to 0.039" about a month before I installed the chip. The idle was a little rough before I installed the chip but I can't remember if it started around the time I installed the plugs. When I installed the chip, I overboosted and blew my head gasket. Took out the chip, put in the stock one, and replaced my head gasket. The plugs didn't look bad, although they did have considerable carbon build-up considering how long they were in the car. I suspect that's just cuz they're colder plugs, and I wasn't running higher boost most of the time that I used them. Anyway, now the idle is getting a little rougher, and my check engine light comes on whenever the engine stumbles. The APC had a list of fault codes a mile long, and the fuel controller and TCS also had a few fault codes.
I was told that my ignition cassette may be going bad, or my APC may be fried. I was also informed that Saab reads the feedback from NGK plugs so I should always use those... I'm going to install NGK plugs ASAP, but can anyone tell me what might be the problem here?
