screw a screw driver, i used a ratchet this time, they are on there tight as i can possibly get them without breaking the clamp... we shall see that was the first time in 12000 miles, and i have been having problems with boost control so im sure spiking to the occasional 25 doesnt help

I had the same thing happen to me and had to drive the car uphill for a mile to get home before I realized what happend. The car ran like crap and stalled like five times. Do you think the engine suffered any permanent damage? I know my clutch took a beating for sure. Thank you.
