Car dead - basic diagnostic help needed
I put on the following parts this week:
Racetec FMIC
Ported & Polished OEM Exhaust Manifold
APR Turbo Inlet Hose
APR Throttle-Body Hose
SPP EFK
I did a throttle-body adaptation for my GIAC K04 program on Tuesday.
The boost levels have been spiking over 25 psi in hot weather, so I babied the car a bit once I realized there was spiking.
Today I went out for a long drive (on the way to a wedding no less) and opened it up a bit, but not WOT...to see if the boost had settled down. It was a hot day, and I had the AC on (for the wife).
Anyway...about 30 mins into the drive, loss of power. I pull over, and ease the car to a safe spot about 100m down the road. Now the car will only go forward a few feet without stalling. Very rough idle, a little black smoke.
Is this a blown KO4, or worse?
TIA.
