does the same thing, loud pop then goes beyond rich and barely runs
check theplumbing before you spend money having it looked at.

check couplings, piping, intercooler, and bov before spending money to have it looked at.

I checked the intercooler, piping, bov and didnt see anything. I started it up and it runs for two seconds and dies. It sounds like its misfiring very badly.

Damn you guys are good. My car is fixed, no charge. A coupling underneath the car came loose, and the check engine light was a wastegate code. Thanks guys.

told ya! lol do yourself a favor, go to Lowe's and spend 15 bucks to make a boost leak tester, it's a very good tool to have for things like this. just 2 straight pieces of PVC, a 90degree elbow, coupler on one end and a compressor feed on the other. plug it onto ur turbo, put some air in there and just put ur ear down until you find ur leak.

Also what kinda couplings are on there. You might want to invest in something alittle better to hold the extra boost. Unless it was just cuz it wasnt tight. But if it happens again, id say its time for some new ones.
