I made the mistake of beating my car today and as always...PROBLEMS! Everything was great, boosting fine, then, all of a sudden, the car started lagging like hell. It basically wouldn't rev past 2000 rpm in any gear without stuttering like it was going to backfire. The car wasn't smoking at all, and when the engine's running it sounds fairly normal, no knocks, ticks, anything, but the rpms are jumpy.
The few things I did notice...
-when I opened the hood the manifold was GLOWING it was so hot
-don't hear the turbo at all anymore(i can usaually hear something faint at least, even at 2k)
-when you let off the rpm's drop to around 500 and bounce back and forth a bit(when it was hot)
-after it cooled and I started it the motor kicked over fine and again sounded fairly normal but then shut off almost immediately(it starts, hits idle and then drops off and stalls)
Car has an evo 16g, ported manifold, stock downpipe, aftermarket rear 1/3 exhaust, fmic, and nothing else(if it helps)
