6500rpms car died.
6500rpms car died. *UPDATE*
Well im not going to lie about what happened, but I will give you guys a brief story.
I was on the highway cruising @ 80mph around 2am. A new V8 S4 comes up and instigates a race...I bite.
Go up to an indicated 130 (in fifth), and let off because the S4 was behind.
I slowed down to 100mph and he flew by. I hit the gas and nothing...
The car had no power, but the rpms werent going down VERY very slow (with my foot to the floor).
I downshifted to fourth still nothing. Luckily i was right by an exit...as I went to turn off, my power steering and brakes went out.
Right before i got in the gas station all my idiot lights went on and the abs light flashed.
As soon as the car was stopped, it shot out a little cloud of blue/white-ish smoke and died.
I popped the hood and didnt notice anything...except some oil around the turbo.
Tried to start the car...no go.
Right now i dont have the car, but i can look at it on monday.
Any ideas?
(YES i searched)

do you have any fuel mods? 11psi is probably overpowering your stock fuel pump.
there was a guy that posted in the dyno/timeslips section that posted that he was in the 13's AFR's with even a walbro fuel pump at 10psi it was also a series5.
i'm thinking that you may have lost some apex seals if you've been boosting 11psi with the stock fuel pump and injectors. do a compression test on it monday

Well the front rotor has no compression, the rear is shitty.
motor is being pulled and ripped apart to asses the damages
maybe a rebuild, or jspec engine...or possibly a piston engine....

If all you hurt was the motor, rebuild the thing!
