I'm so pissed off, it's not even funny...

so last night was my first night out driving the car hard after putting my new clutch in. i was racing my buddies in their srt-4's at a light and i took off, by the top of 3rd gear, my car started bogging really bad and my engine was making a really strange noise. i throw it in neutral and rev the engine a bit and it still sounds really weird. i pull over, look under my hood and can't see anything wrong. i decide to drive to the nearest gas station and driving there, car seemed fine but wouldn't hit anything above 5psi of boost and make a really loud but low pitched turbo noise, nothing i ever heard before.

well, now i have no boost, haven't looked at my fins yet but i'm sure i sucked something in there and broke something due to the noise and low boost. it's only a small 16g so oh well :) time for an upgrade i guess.

think it could be something else that i'm missing?
