FC ran great on boost then dies

OK i finally got my Holset hx52 to spool and got about 7 psi..was running it home , got it spooled , then let off heard a load pop like a hose popping off then she died.....got out and checked hoses no hoses where off....i tried starting it..it started but if i put my foot on gas it dies..but it will start right back up but then dies again........i dont think i put naything more than 10 psi before it died..........i changed MAF still does same thing....

Can the FPR get blown out with a bigger turbo?..........I have run stock at 15 psi with no problem............
do you think a NEO apexi will show TPS signal even if the TPS is at fault......

OHH yea the battery went dead real easy too.......couple cranks and it was dead.........do you think a bad battery can cause that..even though my NEO is saying I am charging at about 13 V?


I am stuck here guys any help will be fantastic....cheers

Really does sound like a hose came off.

Charging at 13 is kindof low. Should be around 13.8 to 14.

Check the couplers, one may have broke.
