Over boost then nothing...?what happened?

Can somebody please help me out? I have taken my Catalic coverter out of my FD3s RX7 then have taken the car for a drive. At about 5RPM it overboosted then lost all power...now wont start,
what happened? Blown engine?

I have stock twin turbos with a RE Amemiya computer.

Please help!

Quite possibly. Start with a compression check.

Sorry to hear about your problem...

So you removed the stock cat, replaced with non cat mid pipe, then boosted over limit without any other mods to compensate the extra boost.

I think you are in market for a reman...
