I just finished installing my lower intercooler pipe. When I was all done I forgot to plug in the MAF. I didn't do any driving, though. I then remembered and plugged in the MAF and noticed the Check Engine Light come up. I ignored it and took the car out for a test drive. I was driving in first gear and noticed I was only boosting 10psi and the car felt pretty slow. All of a sudden the car undergoes a huge boost spike up to 20psi. Right at this time I hear a pretty loud pop and the car just shuts down. It won't idle on it's own but I can manage to barely make it idle by tapping on the accelerator. Black smoke comes out of the exhaust.
I AM hoping I just blew the turbo and not the whole damned motor. Please help.
