Alright, so i was making a right hand turn onto a busy street and decided to merge a little agressive.
When i went to push it into 2nd gear at around 6k rpm, it sounded like it was grinding really really bad even though the clutch was in the floor board.
Then when at the light, with no gear engaged, my car was idling at around 500-550 and fighting to stay alive.
Noticed that it seemed really loose getting it into gear, so thought i might have killed my clutch, but not sure how that would affect the idle.
Got to a parking spot, and started pressing my clutch pedal with the hood up, and noticed a really bad squeaking sound on both press and depress.
Heard my spark was a little off, so set my head next to it to hear it. Unable to hear the TIK TIK TIK that i normally hear coming from the sparks, heard a constant buzzing, like it didnt want to pulse and just wanted constant spark.
I have my car sitting for the last hour or so, and have another 2 hours before i go back to it, but hoping its nothing major due to driving up to Riverside this weekend and Vegas next weekend...
If anyone is in san diego and willing to help, feel free to PM me, I will buy you a case of beer or two
Only after market part is my Injen air intake, everything else is stock except the boost gauge and volt meter.

So, i went out to look at the car, and low and behold, the recirc pipe from the Evo 8 BoV to the Injen intake was blown off on the intake side...
Now i have to figure out how a stock setup is coming up with enough pressure to pop that tube off... might need new BoV
