20 50w
so today i changed my oil back to royal purple 10 30 (before i was running 20 50) and i filled it with 94 from chevron and took her out for a run and went into boost and it felt like it hit a wall and when i came to a stop it stalled. for sure its blown but i was just curious if a switch in oil could really make that much of a difference in a single turbo fd..

hm thats very possible.. i will check that. but when i was cranking it over it back fired and sounded like it was sputtering and when it was push started it wouldnt idle higher then about 300 rpm.. even with trying to push the gas it didnt raise the rpm at all.. are those all symptoms of a blown off vac line to the map sensor?

oil has definitely nothing to do with that.
If anything, think about the "94 octane" you put in your car before you went on your spirited drive.
Sometimes if you're not watching, gas attendants can put lower octane in your car by mistake. Sometimes you get the sediments from the older gas in the gas station tanks before they get their gas trucks.
Lots of variables here.
But yes check your map sensor first.

^ Due to the FD using a Speed Density system you are correct that a charge pipe falling off will have nothing to do with the car not running at all. It would just not boost.

Sounds like it could have been a bad tank of gas. Your thread title isn't very accurate.... sorry to hear it, I lost an engine back in 2001 to a **** tank of Exxon 93 octane.

Some gas stations have ONE pump nozzle for all their octanes. So you're getting a mixture of octane. Maybe its marginal, maybe its a lot, who knows.
But thats also something needed to be accounted for.
Also like i said before about their delivery trucks. I always ask the attendant when was the last time their truck came.
And lastly, there was an article somewhere about what station had the best filtered gas. Idk if that makes sense but the actual gas being filtered from their tanks, before it hits the nozzle.
