I need some serious help! I was just driving down the road on the way back to work and my car took a shit on me. Got into boost thru second into third...boosted thru 3rd and right before I shifted into 4th at about 5000rpms, I heard a "poof" then the car died on me! Sounded like a coupler from the piping blew off. Now the car will turn over but only runs for like 2 seconds then it dies. Engine shakes pretty bad when trying to start. There was no smoke coming from the exhaust when it happened, no oil leak that I can see or smell. No leaks from the valve cover and no water or smoke coming from the exhaust. Checked all the couplers,maf,vacuum lines to catch can and boost controller...all are fine and connected. When it first happened and I restarted it a buddy said he thought he saw alittle bit of white smoke come from the intake manifold area....but I had him start it like 3 times
And I saw nothing....any ideas?
History and setup
Fuilly built ka about 2500 miles on it.
T25 set at 6psi.
HBC set at 6psi
Car has not been retuned yet since build. Tuned on nistune.
Timing issue maybe??

Like you said, sounds like a coupler on the IC. Check that.
