i gunned it off the line last night in first gear, right before i was going to shift to 2nd at 6000rpm there was a loud pop and then the car shut off, now when i try to start it, it starts up very briefly then dies. car is 87 t2 with full exhaust, mbc, fcd, and cone filter, i have the boost set at 9psi right now on stock fuel system

check compression
check AFM plug

check all hoses going to intercooler somtimes i forget to tigthen them or they come lose and blow off

would the tid, or the intercooler connections make the car start up then die again? because earlier that day i took the intercooler off to check it out, and i also noticed that the clamp connecting the elbow from the turbo to the intercooler wasn't clamped on tightly, and i was going to fix that at shop class today. also, would it make a popping noise when it came off?
