i think my car just blew up

I was driving regularly accelrating a mildly under boost and the car just stumbles hardcore and stalls out... try to start it up and its just dead it will start, idle at like 400 making a weird sound then just dies...

what happend... is it blown...? just bought it 3 weeks ago, this isn't good at all

Forced,

doesn't sound good. However, can you give alil more information on your car? What kind of mods? How many miles? Is it a new engine? What was the compression check before you bought it?

And finally, did you check the MAP sensor? That can sometimes pop off and give you wierd symptoms...

just bought it, only mods are silicone hose job, petit dp, aftermarket main pulley. has 64k miles on it. didn't do a compression check on the car but the boost was weird since i bought it. and had a bubbling noise in the coolant line i think. was running strong anyways for the most part.

check the MAP sensor. It is on the firewall next to the brake cylindar. Check that it is connected on both ends.

Check your wiring and fuses. One frayed cable can make you think the worst.
