Need Help Desperately.. Blew Something Up.

[GTAAAH]

ok so i finally finished installing my FMIC today and went for a lil test drive in it. Had the boost controller adjusted wayyy out so stock boost. Gave it a bit and i felt it jump back alot once i hit 4.5k rpm. It used to do this before i adjusted the boost up to 12 so i just assumed it was that and got out and adjusted it up (although it had done it more than before) so i cranked it to where 12 psi is, then accelerated in 1st to about 4500 rpm. Felt a bit better until i hit the 4500 rpm then a loud bang and a whizzing sound from my turbo. Then the car stalled. .. I started it once more and it idles but very roughly and the turbo whizzes very loudly, as soon as i put any strain on it it stalls, I can hear a rattling sound coming from my inlet manifold to. Is my turbo/engine rooted? If so what would have caused it? Could it be a problem caused by some kind of intercooler leak?

Edit... hose ^^

wait up, was a hose came off but was ver hard to see from the angle i was looking at lol. Um should my inlet manifold be rattling tho, the hose is on but im scared to start it as im scared it sucked up some crap into the manifold and its siting there

checked cooler pipes???

yeh was the hose, sorry if my sentences sucked, i tried to say nevermind it was a hose but came out all retarded. I think was just something to do with unburnt fuel or something causing the ticking in the inlet manifold. With hoses on its gone. Was woried

LOL they way you described it i thought u f***ed the turbo LOL Thank goodness it was nothing in the end...

did you notice any improvement in performance after fitting the FMIC?

[GTAAAH]

um yeh it holds the 12 psi a shitload better, bit slower to spool (barely noticeable) but yeh holds the boost beautifully

[GTAAAH]

have got a problem still tho. I get what sounds like an annoying constant beeping as soon as boost kicks in. Its not the normal turbo spooling sound and doesnt incease in frequency much.. Is this because of the new cooler or something? Or is there likely to be a boost leak somewhere

what intercooler kit?

some of the earlier hybrid type intercooler kits had some crap welding on the pipes or something and would scream on boost.

found the problem, the underside of one of the silicon joints had a split in it Thought those things were good for a fair bit of pressure and stretching (didnt overtighten em) ive replaced it and will eventually replace them all. Its the justjap kit, all the welding is pretty mickey
