ok so i have about 2 or 3 posts about this now and im still stupmed and now pissed i havent heard my turbo spool in a month and 4 days wtf lol....alright i was driving doin 80 not beating on it at all.... and when all of a sudden i felt a loss of power so i pushed down on the gas and the rpms and speedomoter wouldent go up.... now i start to pull over and as i do so my car shuts off..... i did try to crank it but it seemed like there was no electricy or there was no sorce of fuel to crank it over....i no a decent amount about these cars i have had a new motor put in when i bought the car so.. this motor has about 35,000 miles.... my water pump just went so i had the T-belt done less then 2 months ago everything new (belt-pullys etc.) done by the machiac i no....ok so i give him my car he doesnt every put it on the lift never even looks at it..oh wait he did pop the hood for a whole 5 min to tell me he "THINKS".... "THINKS" i bent a valve and my head needs to be rebilt...now my knowledge of dsm's tells me that if i bent a valve i would have heard a shit load of clattering valves across the top of my piston heads....now today i took it away from this guy and brought it to my buddy dave with a respectable shop... he the one who put my motor in...now im waiting to hear from him...but my question from you guys is this... accroding to the info i have provided and also the fact my clutch was slipping.... what could possibally happend cuz im worried about driving my car again before we get hit with snow lol cuz i miss it......so whats the deal fuel related...a short...my clutch...or a new motor? any other things idk let me know... thanks guys!!!!!!! later

Seriously, punctuation is a must. I got a headache half way through that thing.

Have you tried looking for a boost leak? If no air is getting through your mas your motor wont run. Try the obvious first, that way you cover all of your bases

If the valve didn't cause too much damage I'm thinking you could theoretically have the car run. But 80% of the time you won't just bend one valve but more like 6-8 which would cause the car to not be able to run at all. Make sure he takes the valve cover off to check. If he doesn't then he's probably just throwing possibilities out there.

Have you even done a compression test? Your car died while driving, this is the only info i see in this thread. Maybe your T-belt did slip and if it did more than one valve is toast. I would do a compression test first and go from there.

I didn't even get that far before I stoped reading it.

Maybe a hose blew off...I know when i put my 16g on, my damn LICP would blow off every now and then causing no power and causing my car to die out...Till i finally got some better clamps.
