What help do you need? You ruined the turbo probably. Take it off and find out. I hope it was worth all the WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHing.

Holy, crap. You sucked the towel in your turbo...I don't know what to tell you. Wait, that hole is in your intake pipe to your tb not your turbo inlet pipe right? Maybe it's in your intake piping outside your throttle body???

Sounds like your taking some stuff apart tonight.

MEaning the first time it sucked something you should have really stopped..

No, think about it. His SSQV is mounted to a flange on the UICP. Then, because he was foolishly using this SSQV and doing so in VTA mode, he was forced to plug the stock BOV hole in the turbo inlet hose (intake pipe). This popped out, so he plugged it with a towel instead, and the rest is history.

Gothca, that's what it first sounded like to me, but wasn't sure if I read it right.

Wow... ... Wow?

That sucks man. Was it tuned to have a blow off valve or did u just add one? You can screw up your engine by not having the car tuned for it because it releases all the air and the next time you step on the gas the car is expecting all that pressure to be built up but gets nothing... then it gets dumped with a BUNCH of fuel and no air.

You're probably going to have to get a new turbo. Might as well upgrade. And make sure if you do a BOV that you have it done right... it can really screw up your car if it isn't.

Take it apart and post pics. Not to sound like a jerk, but I gotta see what this looks like . When you take you're turbo off, it's best to take it apart to see if it's salvagable and check your intercooler piping as well for fallen debris.
