nope no cel

Re:What the fuck could cause this??
 

check all the pipes though...when they blow off, the maf sees air going into the turbo, but the motor gets none of it. so the car runs hella rich and feels like it blew up. its happened to me many a time

Re:What the fuck could cause this??
 

how would that explain the barely staying on part though? The turbo doesnt push out barely any air at idle right?

Re:What the fuck could cause this??
 

but the maf is still reading a different amount of air than the motor is seeing probably, just check the pipes to rule that out

Re:What the fuck could cause this??
 

Cool. Checked the pipes out and they are fine. Now the car starts and idles ok but still has no power and makes a decently loud rattling/knocking sound at 2700 and up. Any clues fellas?

1 or more piston(s) are FUCKED, check the fuel injectors.... check ignition: cap,rotor, plugs, wires... other than that, you got me stumped if its not that.. was oil ON the exhaust? or IN the exhaust?
