yup sounds like the battery went dead 
how old is the battery? Do you have aftermarket pulleys? what about an aftermarket system? you may have some kind of a drain on your system somewhere... it could be a loose wire or something like that. hope that helped a little.

You said you didn't get the 3000 RPM warm up. Also, did you recently do anything in the engine bay? Could be the boost sensor came loose, or a vaccuum hose.

If it isn't the battery, could it be the alternator? If you weren't hard on the boost before hand, I don't see why it would have blown. Especially if you were stopped at a red light, theres nothing to make it blow.
When I blew my engine, I could start and drive the car just fine. It was loud as hell and had little to no power, but it started and moved under it's own power. So I'm ruling out blown engine. If that makes you feel any better.

"did I blow my engine..."
And they all replied
"Are you sure its not your map sensor"
Then we got the $6500 bill. Sad but true.
