Blown something....?

So I'm on 417 heading south. Some dodge ram hemi pulls up right on my ass. I move to the right lane. He punches it. So do I. . . needless to say I'm now several bus lengths ahead of him. At 120mph I get what I felt was a fuel cut. I thought to myself. NO WAY! Never happened since the upgraded pump. Then it gets worse. The car just starts to slow down and I get no more boost. slowing down. . . slowing down. . .CEL goes on. Popping sound coming from the exhaust as I try to throttle up.

I turn around and head back home towards 434. Car accelerates but at the slightest touch of the throttle. If I give too much the car goes into vacuum and actually slows down.

I ordered a vag com yesterday so I will get the code soon. I hope it's nothing too serious.

Anyone got experience with this issue? Me thinks it's the PCV? Can't be the dv as the factory dv is capped off. Doubt the forge dv is blown.

hmm....interesting. Sounds like a fuel cut at first since you have no boost and such, but yea, much more serious since the cel came on. Hope you get your VAG asap or know somebody who has one!

I can only think that it has something to do with your DV setup somewhere. You may have lost a hose or something has come loose. Check all of you connections again just to make sure. Also check your PCV. I am sure that has a little to do with it.

Okay, I don't like the looks of this. . . The hose always looked off like that but never seen so much oil there. (Definatly need to look into a catch can solution!)

Damn Eurojet hoses did not fit right so I had to hack it up to fit. I think I cut too much. I will have to get a new hose.

I checked all other connections and all is good.

Someone else advised me that my autotech pump may have seized causing the car to go into limp mode. Need to get that fault code asap to determine.

I had the exact same thing happen and it was a clogged fuel filter. Wouldn't boost past 0 PSI, no power, etc.

Hope/pray it's something as simple as a clogged fuel filter!
