engine trouble.

I was driving home and wasnt getting on it much and all of a sudden my car started running like crap and back fireing left and right. so i pulled over. i looked and there was a little smoke of some sort coming out of engine bay. i limped it home it wouldnt build any boost my guage read 0 psi. and if i didnt feather the gas pedal it would stall. im so confused it was running fine a few hours before. the car has some mild mods done to it. please help.

You blew a hose or something, pop the hood and start looking. Also check your intercooler piping. And quit driving the car until its fixed.

Either that or your turbo blew, or you cracked a cylinder, threw a rod, blew a head gasket, etc etc.

This sort of thing always scares people and makes them think it's a blown engine, but most of the time it's just an IC pipe that busted loose. The symptoms are extreme, but the problem is simplistic. I'm glad that's all was this time...

Good deal. Ive noticed with the weather changes that some people are having problems with pipes popping off. You might want to consider changing over to T-bolts if you already havent.
