It would help if you could update your profile properly. I doubt you're running a t3/t4 in combination with a 16g. Doesn't make sense. Start by updating that to the current modlist of the car.

Also, if the boost gauge isn't moving... do the obvious... fix the boost leak. Hunt it down coupler by coupler, because to agree with the aforementioned detonation, you probably have a huge boost leak and your engine was detonating. That won't exactly bode well for spark plugs or your engine.

Also, when you're driving your car... what is it doing? Is it accelerating poorly with black smoke? Is it stuttering at low speeds and while beginning to build boost? A sure sign of detonation is a very erratic stutter in the exhaust note. It's unmistakable if you're heard it once.
