PLEASE HELP!!!!!! NO BOOST
I lost boost for a week 2 psi (chipped so i should be getting 15).. and all the sudden it came back.. when a piece of my cat flew out exhaust.. i get on it and it good for like 2 min then it deappers. Today i heard a loud POP and the boost came back.. then i got on it and i lost it again>>> is my turbo dead???

Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!! NO BOOST
If not, you are just waiting for the curtain call. I imagine the "pop", was a symptom of engine management. As you regained boost pressure, the fuel map went haywire causing a lean condition, pulling back the timing and advancing it rapidly, which in turn puts the turbo at risk of mechanical failure. I would check for codes, take it to the dealer, and get ready to bend over. Or I could be completely wrong and you could be misfiring, and just pulling codes in the ecu. Either way I feel for you

maybe, when the cat pieces flew out of your exhaust, you should've had the car looked at...
your history of posts indicates to me that you either bought a ****ty car, or beat the crap out of it, or both. again, based on you posts, i think that you are beating the crap out of this car, not having it properly maintained... and blaming it on the car or your dealer.
fix your problems, get it running right... then try pushing it.
