Here's the deal, I put a 14b in my 2g got all supporting mods. It was running fine, pulling hard then I heard a loud pop. Car wouldnt stay on. I make it home and here's whats going on.
1. If I take the intake off, straight open air turbo, car runs with a high idle. if I rev it sputters, i'm assuming because its not getting a reading on how much air is coming in.
2. If I hook up my intake, everything plugged in, car wont idle at all.
3. Turbo has no in/out shaft play.
4. No oil leaking or coolant leaking.
5. Boost leak tested it before i started driving, small boost leak coming from the idle adjustment screw
6.i took my maf off and didnt notice anything broken
7. no vacuum at all

Any ideas???
 
Thats what it was, saw it clear as day when i got home from work. Goes to show that sometimes you gotta stop working on it and take a break, especially at 1 am:thumb:
