Well here's how it goes,
i got my car back a few weeks ago with a clutch install.
After 2 weeks the car was having problems starting up, like it would hesitate and the oil light would come on( didn't notice until the 7th time) i put some more oil in and changed the battery thinking the ignition was the problem or the battery and still i had troubles.
Well being a retard and not thinking it was serious i went to the track, after my 3rd run the car just turned off after the finish line.
It would start again but there was a ckanking noise coming from my oil pan/ block area.
The car still starts and rev's up fine and the clanking sound comes and goes but mostly stays.
What could i have broken? Damaged?
I think what did the car in was my boost control line broke and the car hit 25psi on a basically stock engine.
Anyways some advice before i go to a mechanic since i am still saving around $700-900 for the repair.
Thanks

Probably a spun bearing or a busted rod. Pull the oil pan and have a look. Also check your crank pulley, to see if mayb it seperated on you.
