Message	Considering what you have replaced, and the symptoms, it could be a massive vacuum or boost leak. Trace your boost hoses and vacuum lines. Just an idea. Hope it helps. DP :Ok, let's start from the beginning. I've been in safety boost ever since I bought the car. I haven't been able to boost over 5-6 PSI. Anyways, I was on a Sunday drive, and decided to let it rip down a straight. Suddenly, I lost all power. My aftermarket gauge was now reading zero, and when I stepped on the gas, I heard a sound similar to a headgasket failure (kind of a whine that bogs down). On top of that, my idle is now going erratic (500-1500 RPMS, up and down, up and down). When it goes down to the 500RPM level, it feels like its going to stall and it seems like it's running on 5 cylinders. Before you respond, keep in mind: :-6 new OEM injectors 7,000 miles ago :-6 new coil pack connector clips :-New MAF :-New Detonation Sensor + Harness :I checked for codes, and got 12, 13, and 34. The car seems to be running extra rich as well. Please give me some ideas...they are much appreciated. "Yes, I know my car is still running"
