Exclamation I think I blew it?!

Hey guys looking for some help. Took my car out this morning and everything was fine till i got i to about 4000rpms, then it just took a dive like it wanted to stall. Runs great till it shud be making some boost then just takes another dive. Is my turbo blown? I didnt notice any smoke and my boost gauge is still working correctly.

Could be a preturbo leak, we'll need your mods, if you've thrown a check engine light (and what it is). If your leaking it could cause the car to studder and/or stall out.

You say that it runs fine without boost so Maybe your boost controller is messing with the system???

Check all the vacuum lines going to/from the controller and intake (pre and post MAF). Look for loose connections or tears.

Could be leaking out the intake before the MAF, because without the MAF hooked up, the engine studders and dies....

My guess is something wrong with the vacuum lines like Longshot mentioned, or boost controller is doing something... Most likely a leak somewhere, whether it's in the intake system or exhaust system i can't tell...

Do you have a down pipe as well as the cat-back? And if so, does it have the wastegate?

Had a hose off the boost controller that was loose and nasty. I cut it and put it back on there nice and tight. Took her out and all seems swell. NO CEL! Thanx 4 all ## help fellas!
