Angry damn....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aiite, i was driving my evo from boston to NYC, and ****ing middle of the highway, my car brokedown. when i mean my car breakingdown, im just saying it cuz i dunno **** about my evo. first of all, i was pushin my motor lil bit harsh cuz of few civic losers, but at that time, car was perfectly fine. After pushing for a while, i stopped at few places without letting the motor cool down. when i was back on the highway, thats when i noticed my motor wasnt working normal. when the turbo kicked in around 3200rpm, the bov sound was gone, but intake was suckin air tho, and there was no boost. So i started driving it easy and slow. for a while, the car was still going but in about 20mins, the car started to die on me. I couldnt figure out wat the **** was wrong wit it so i towed it to my home boi's crib at ****ing 3!!!!in the morning and had to take a cab to the city which cost me 140!!!!!!. can someone tell me what could be the possible problem with my car? the car starts and everyhing but the rpm needle would not stay in one place without my hitting on a gas. also it sounds like its tryin to die on me!!!! someone please plz plz ****ing HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !1

check all your intercooler piping. upper and lower, take the undertray off to check it (if you still have one) let us know if you did that.

I actually had to read that post about 8 times before all the highschool bling finally got through to me.


For people that are ghetto impaired (like myself) the synopsis of the story is:

- He starts by messing around with Civics on the highway
- After a small stop he tries the highway again but the car acts oddly
- Driving the car slowly the car begins to act like its going to die
- Car is towed to his "boi's" house
- He states the car starts and everything but no boost

Thanks guys, i just came to my boy's house and took a look at the car, and found the problem was the IC pipe. You guys were perfectly right, and how could I learn more about my car? Please let me know....
p.s> to the people who didnt get what i was saying, I went to many boarding schools in my entire life, so I probably could write in English better than any of you.

What does that have to do with anything?

Just because you WENT to "school" doesn't mean you LEARNED anything, as evident in your wonderful posts

Don't get ignorant with the people who you're asking to help you...Just some advice
