Default EM with K20a2 turbo problem

This morning I was on my way to class and i was rolling on the highway and downshifted kinda hard and punched it a lil bit. after i drove a little way's down the highway my car started acting funny and now making a knocking/ticking sound. It won't idle right and it won't stay running and it's hard to start it. I've got it running kinda rich cuz the motor's only got 2600 on it and the turbo. I think it's a valve or maybe i spun a bearing. What do you think? And if I have to rebuild it what turbo build up for the k20a2 has had the most luck?

No CEL's?

If not, do a compression and leak down test and post the results.

As far as an A2 build, what numbers are you looking to make? What turbo kit are you currently running? And lastly how much are you looking to spend?

turns out it was a rod bearing that let loose. Gues it's time to build the motor!! or maybe put the motor in a hatch and see if i can get a 3.2 to slap in the em. that'd be phat as hell. how many EMs with 3.2 swaps are around?
