Being a Newbie I apologize if my question is not placed in the correct forum. Recently my engine sounded like it backfired when I shifted from 1st to 2nd gear and accelerated. I have no boost from the turbo? Is the turbo hatched or is there a disconnected hose?
:confused:
 
does the car still drive? or does it start up and kind of sputter and die? i know when my upper intercooler pipe blew off while driving down the highway, it died, and i coasted to the shoulder, tried to start it up and it just putted a bit and then shut off, so i popped the hood and saw the tube got blown off, so i used a quarted to tighten it down until i got somewhere's to get a screwdriver (30 miles down the road haha) more than likely your problem is a leak somewhere in the intake tract.
