after installing my fmic i checked everything about 5 times to make sure everything was tight and plugged in, and i had been driving the car for around a week with no problems.
but the other day when i was pulling out of the village i live in some **** didn't signal to say he was swapping lanes (its a dual carriage way i pull out on to) so i had just pulled out and seen him switch lanes so instead of having some gay go in to the back of me i put my foot down to get up to speed, in second the car got to about 3K rpm then bang the car shot me forward like id just banged the breaks on, the turbo was mega loud and it dumped like it never had before.
anyway after this happened the car would not rev over 2.5K so i pulled over where i could had a look couldn't see anything was still dark, so i slowly crawled to work in to the car park and had a proper look in the engine bay, the n75 take off pipe had snapped about an inch away from the clip so at lunch when the car had cooled down i went back and cut the pipe down and fitted it again the car ran and it drives now but it doesn't feel the same. im guessing some thing has gone pretty wrong.
iv scanned it nothing on it, im going to look at getting it in to a garage for some body who knows what there doing to have a look.
any one have any idea what could of broke?
sorry for the essay i find it hard to get what i want to say down in text
