Angry HELP HELP NO BooST?

I was driving my car down the highway and all of a sudden the check engine light came on. Ever since then including while driving home when the light came on, when the car tries to hit boost the engine bogs down and decellerates. Just to get up small hills i have to downshift the car. Any ideas? please help!!!!! Its like i dont even have a primary turbo nemore =(.

Check to see what the code is for the CEL by bridging the terminals named "TEN" and "GND" on the diagnosis box next to the battery. How many miles do have on the turbos? does the car smoke?

Also, check the good old "map sensor". It's on the drivers side in the engine bay along the firewall. It's labeled "Boost Sensor". See if the vacuum line has popped off...

120k on the turbos!!?? Damn, if i were you i'll defint. be saving up money for a new, used, or rebuilt turbo. Your primary turbo could be cooked. If not check all your hoses, possibly the hoses leading to your CRV.
