Default URGENT: My S4 is smoking like hell!

I was driving fast when I started losing power. It seems the turbos were not working anymore. I head some weird sounds. Then I realized that my car was smoking and smelling very bad. It looks almost ike my car is on fire when the engine is running.

Please help.

P.S. My car is APR chipped

Uh oh. Smoking is often associated with a blown turbo.

Default Listen to Cheng!!

Do yourself a favor and get that APR chip out of there, like.... now. Get a stock ECU and put the APR under your pillow until the car is fixed. That's what I would do!<p>Jessica K
