Well... I got my turbo installed and only have a basemap on it... and you guessed it... I ran it fairly hard today. To put it as simply as i can.. I was at about 6-7k and it goes BOOM and a small cloud of black smoke goes out the back. Then it shuts off.

I originally thought that I either snapped a rod/ring lands were fried/ or bent a rod. However.. It cranks but wont turn over. SO I did a compression check. All are within 20 psi of eachother at around 180 (was like that before I went turbo). No really loud noises or anything when I go to crank it so I doubt its anything internal. (not sure tho).

SO.. that kind of leads me to believe that its my timing belt. I thought my belt could have skipped some teeth or something. I took the valve cover off and couldn't tell much from there. Is it possible for the engine to do something like that and not start up? Or did I seriously **** something up? .

After all of this is done... I will NEVER drive another car unless it is properly tuned.

i would do a leakdown test and if its good then i would check to see if theres spark and fuel.

if your timing belt snapped you wouldn't get the compression readings you are getting so you can cross that off the list
