Umm....Something happen, engine died
So I had just finished installing a test pipe and a O2 fix. Let the car warm up, made sure there was no CEL. Went for a test drive, after the temp go to operarating point, I boosted once. Then i boosted again. The thrid time I boosted, my car just died.
No loose IC piping and nothing I can see.
The only mods are
walbro
MBC (set at modest 21)
test pipe
The ECU is running the stock ROM right now.
Any ideas??

if you didnt turn your MBC down after installing you test pipe, you probly over boosted, as there is less back pressure. It probly blew an I/C pipe off that may not be immediatly noticeable, as the I/C hoses usually stay butted up against where they are supposed to be, just not tight with clamps.
Could have also been the LICP, be sure to check that as well

I was watchin the boost gauge, it was 20-21 lbs
Checked all IC piping very thoughly, becuase I've had IC piping blew off before.
