I was driving one afternoon...i floored the gas pedal and the wastegate opened and after my car started stalling after i slowed downed and the car started slowing down! anyone have any ideas that might have caused this??

You didn't mention anything about tuning if you didn't have the car tuned, you just blew your engine.


start looking for blown off vacuum lines...and keep your fingers crossed.

You floored it and didn't past 4k RPM's?Seems hard to believe..And the engine has been sitting for a year and a half without being started occasionally?Good luck with everything..

I think we would all love you give you a more positive outlook, but from the details you provided, you neglected to do all the proper prep/mods prior to taking your car out with a fairly large single.
