if the exhaust wheel has gone to heaven youll may get a high pitched squeal sound when you give it some curry but you haven't mentioned any of that. it sounds like an airleak somewhere in the pipework.

did u get any smoke/puff/noises/pops when it occured?

I think its more likely that you have popped a hose off

Is the car blowing any smoke?

Blitz is on the money here, more than likely you popped a cooler hose just have a look under the bonnet .

In my limited experience, when I popped the intercooler hoses off (shit silicone rubber & clamps; now replaced) the car simply stalled, and was a real shit to start to just get off onto the side of the road. Was very 'fluffy' when running.

If the car felt 'fluffy' then yes itd be a 'cooler leak of some kind, but if the engine felt normal but just didnt have any boost, then Id be spending the first 10mins looking inside the cat-converter for some ceramic bitsnpieces.

yep there was a sound of a thud and then no boost

it starts fine and runs untill it hits the point of boost where nothing happens and not even the noise of the spooling happens

well its off to ICE to be fixed and new turbo and bits and pieces to be played with.

hear hoping its nothing any more major..

( NEW TURBO HAHAHAHAHA)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
