ok heres teh problem. tonight i was coming home from work, and my car was bein all choppy cuz it was starvin for fuel (no fuel management at the moment, 2nd time ive drove it since the turbo install) so i let off the gas and ease back into boost slowly and smoothly so its not so choppy, and i hear a "pop" noise. the car quits pullin like it should under boost, like the turbo isnt even connected, and i hear no bov when i let off the gas. anyone have any idea of what this could be? btw, its a t25 on a d16y7

...have you popped your hood to even look at it?

maybe your exhaust mani is rusted to shit or something and broke. is the car considerably louder? do you have a filter on your snail? or are you running it open/screened? maybe something kicked up into it...

either way...POP YOUR HOOD AND LOOK!
