Jesus Christ....

worst day ever!?? that is pathetic.

you have a boost/vacuum leak, probably from your stock boost tube coming off under hard acceleration. All you need to do is jack up the car, have a flathead screwdriver and reattach the tube to the turbo inlet flange and tighten the hose clamp (20 mins max).

if this is not the issue then you MAF went bad. then you have to be towed and have it replaced.

You think that is the worst day ever. Try waking up with your friends who flew in from out of town hungover at 6:30 am on 4 hours of sleep to catch a flight to vegas for someone's birthday. You leave your house in a towncar and pay $50 to LAX, only to have a bomb go off at the airport, shutting down all flights on Labor Day weekend. You take another $50 cab ride back to you condo and get in your 996TT with 3 ppl and luggage and attempt to drive to Vegas, only to blow up your hybrid turbo b/c your wastegates were disconnected for testing purposes and your mechanic told you specifically NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR HARD, but you forgot under the stress you were in already at 8am. You miss your flight, you have some dumb girl you know take you and your friends to Burbank after you wait for 2 hours for a flatbed to tow your $140k investment that is smoking like a fog machine on the 10 while everyone drives by laughing at you so you can catch your 4pm flight to Vegas. By the time you get there you want to kill yourself, but you go out with this kid for his birthday, only to find out later on in the night that he is a white supremicist, republican ******* who almost gets us kicked out of Robin Williams Live for calling Mr. Williams a F--King left wing A-Hole. Then the jerkoff tries to kick you and your friends out of the hotel room you paid him cash for, but he had put it on his credit card b/c he did too much yayo and drank more than a fish at 6am on Labor Day weekend. If that isnt bad enough, the next day you fly back to LA, go out for dinner with your friends, ask a hot waitress at a resturaunt to come out with you for drinks that night. She agrees, and you all go out, get hammered and you end up in bed with her later on in the night, only to wake up in a puddle of **** b/c she drank too much and peed on you.

THAT IS A BAD 48 hours, and that happened to ME!!

Uhh, I've been married for almost 20 years. I get up, work, exercise, go home, work at home, go to bed. Repeat X365. That stuff sounds like fun to me...

^^ also...
i'm not trying to raise an argument here... or competition...haha
simply trying to say that i'm having a lot of trouble with my car lately...
probably i used the wrong words "worst day ever in my life"...
if you really wanna talk about worst days and incidents...
try worrying about your mother having life/death surgery, while u're stuck in US unable to go back... while at the same time she's having heart problems and seeing lots of doctors... and not to mention that this is not the only thing i have to worry about, but a lot of other things in my life that's going in the wrong way... which is too personal that i don't feel like mentioning...


i'm not trying to get sympathy or etc... simply am saying that... i don't enjoy this particular day~~~~~~
and that's the end of the story
i'm pretty sure u guys have way too many unhappiness in life that you'd probably feel this is just a piece of cake or watever... but ^_^... i'm only telling a story... about my car...
probably it's my tone or watever, but i'm feeling there are some negative feedbacks that i'm receiving...

I am having a reasonably bad day/week/month myself... After December 15th, I hope it will all get better

Anyways, I hope your car is alright... when your car was running, did it feel any different?
