Message So my assumption is that I had a serious boost leak. One day I'm driving and kicking in the boost, when suddenly I hear a "pop" noise, and the rpms flatline, yet the engine is still running. However, the engine is not "connected" so to speak, as the car wont accelerate. It dies after a moment, and I ended up having to tow it home.

Now at home, I have tried multiple things to get it to start. I bought SMIC's and silicone intake hoses to hopefully cure major boost leaks, and I also swapped in new spark plugs. The car refuses to start still...it wants to, as it makes the noises as if it is going to, but it never actually turns over, just keeps "chuh chuh chuh chuh"ing.

Any ideas for me guys? I have been looking into ash's 6P's, but a lot of that work requires the car to be operational to perform (which mine does not).

Thanks!
