help !!!! pleas !!!!

i was going pretty fast on the highway ... my car was put into neutral and then it stalled ... i turned it back on and now it doesnt boost at all ever and it only goes up to 1.5k max in each gear so about a 30mph top speed with my MR 6 spd ... then it starts bogging crazy hard if u get anywhere over 1.5k in any gear ... i need to get it fixed but i have no idea what it is ... anyone know about this or had an expereince .. im thinking maybe a self preserving system that the computer turns on if something happens ? i dont know but any help would be highly appreciated !!!

unbolt the negative terminal for a few minutes, then put it back on and start her up.

Sounds like you may have blown an icp off. Check the pipe at throttle body, that's where they seem to blow off alot.

sounds like the stock airbox got loose from all that air and the snorkle is hitting sucking up against your hood when you press the gas.

yup almost sit my pants the first time the intercooler piping blew off. Right after i installed hard pipes and boost controller. I have also had a friend that did have his snorkle lose a clips and cut boost at about 5000 rpms, took a solid week to figure out that it was that cause he had just doen work to it and thought it was something completely different

Yeah, most common for me was where the UICP attaches to the throttle body. The first time it happened to me I almost crapped myself. But then I remember the same thing happening to my friend's S/C'd mustang (we actually had no tools at the time and tightened up his worm clamp with a penny we found on the side of the road... ).

Do yourself a favor - you don't need to go out and buy a dozen new T-bolt clamps unless you are boosting like 30psi - just tighten up those worm clamps good with a ratchet (not just a screwdriver... ) and you should be good to go...

I actually keep a mini ratchet with the exact socket used for the IC piping in my driver's door...
