Hey guys. I just installed a RRE 3" downpipe and testpipe, boost gauge and boost conrtoller and I was out finding a good setting for boost. Then I heard a loud pop after a few fuel cut runs. The car began to sputter and it woulnd't boost or go over 2k rpms. There was black smoke coming out of the exhaust so I pulled over and there was smoke coming from the turbo/downpipe area but nothing has come off (atleast I didn't see anything that came off). The car starts but it sputters and I can't drive it because of the smoke and it won't go over 1.5 rpms.
Did I blow the turbo from too much boosting? Maybe a headgasket? I really need help guys. Can anyone give me a hint at what it could be so I have a general idea in how much its going to cost to fix?
Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.
