Is my motor gone?
On Sunday night I had a race with a S13 on the highway and fcuked something up bad! I started in 2nd, then into 3rd then 4th (i was in front btw) then engine seemed like it stopped pulling or wasn't boosting right, so I change into neutral and let it roll. The idle dropped all the way down to 100rpm, lights were flickering abit and eventually cut out. So I pull over and and start her up again and it idles like a bridge (I checked map sensor and was still connected) but I had to adjust the idle up to 1000rpm so I can drive home without it cutting out again. I switched spark plugs today and reseted the stock ecu but so the same problem. The aws still kicked in when trying to warm her up and also my airpumps disconnected (for a while now). Smokes out of the exhaust only when cold and once warm seems normal except for that rough idle. Also, somewhere around the twins are letting abit of smoke out but not all the time, just bit then abit more then stops. It seems like I'm getting boost but revving through gears seems very rough.
Any suggestions....
I'm going to check compression tomorrow and hopefully the engines isn't popped...

You must be running more than 10psi then. Can't do that on the stock ecu. If you drive it around easy it'll last you for a while but if you boost on it it'll really blow up and you won't be able to start it again. If you are planning on rebuilding that engine I wouldn't drive it any more.
