So my car in the last two days has lost so much power and i cant figure out why, when i drive it will drive normal then when it hits about exactly 2100 rpms its loses power and acts like its bogging out, does it in every gear, and when i start it up, it idles at about 1300 then maybe 5 seconds later dies, and if i try to catch it when it dies and give it gas to stop it from dying, it just acts as though its bogging out.

Please help. LOL

Can someone help me please...
 
i thing its something with the fuel , fuel pump, injectors .
Did u do something with the car before its starts act like that ??
If yes ?? what ??

or did u check the plugs or wires ??
it can be that but idk
 
Check from the maf to the turbo for cracks in the rubber. if it's leaking air the maf isn't feeding the ecu the proper number it needs to set the air to fuel ratio. if that isn't the problem then try a boost leak test. let us know what you find.
 
Thanks guys, as of right now the car wont even start, theres a gaping hole in my intercooler piping though, because it bangs on the cross member underneath the turbo, if you guys know how to route the puping so its no where near that, itd be a big help
 
Piping, i replaced that piece of pipe before too, i found it like that after i took the turbo off to fix a different problem, i thought the hole was made during the uninstalation of the turbo but i guess i was incorrect
