I need help
Last wedsday after a tropical storm hit I drove thru an area with about 12 inches of water and my fd stalled.I towed it home took off the intercooler pured out about 2-3 cups of water out of it,then let it dryout for a couple hours and reinstalled it.After pulling the plugs and unflooding ,the engine starts and revs to about 3k then starts to breakup above that and the turbos are glowing cherry red if I play with the throttle to keep it runing .I did a compression test everything looks good ,I even pulled the fuelpump to see if water was in the tank but the tank looks ok.It almost seems like the exhaust is partially clogged but Its all freeflow d.p.,m.p.,c.b. I even removed the silencer to see if something was clogging the exhaust.Any help would be appreciated.

First question, why did you drive the car when you know there is flooding?
Now for the problem, are you getting boost?? It sounds like you have water in the turbo or turbo mechanism.
