stalling problem - can't get into 2nd and 4th

hey all

i don't have a clue as to what has happened to my car overnight, but anyways, i was cruising home tonight, when suddenly my engine turned off as i was shifting into 2nd. i try to turn the car on, put it into 1st gear, then drive, but i can't seem to go above 2rpm's. then as soon as i clutch in, the car turns off.

in a standing still position, i can't even shift into 2nd nor 4th. does anyone know what my problem could be? would this be gearbox related, clutch related, or turbo related (as i drive alot of black smoke is coming out). also, i can't go above 15-20km/h.

thanks

umm.....just a full 3" exhaust, blitz pod filter, and gfb manual boost controller set at 0.9 bar. these mods have been in the car for about 4-5 months now, and hasn't been any trouble to the car.

Check intercooler piping for leaks, bad clamps etc, or a poped off vacum line.

problems fixed.

it was the pipe that goes from my throttle body down to my cooler piping.
it must've poped out dam.
thanks for the help
