Power!!
Have you called Jeff or Ray? I'm thinking you still have hope until you get a professional diagnosis. Pics of the clam or it didn't happend.
seriously I would enlist some professional help to take a look and diagnose what's up.

RPM isn't the point. Its load.
You could spin the motor up to 7000 RPM. It won't be enough load to spool the turbo enough to get it to freewheel. That's just not how it works (though, that suggestion goes a long way to explaining why some are biased against turbos - lack of understanding about how they work).

thats what I thought too!
MM, I am also left speechless
that is what happened, honest to god, I dont understand what happened
it started up, and idled for 2 seconds, @ 3k rpm, and then just died,
those were the sounds, a huge PSHHHHHHHHHHH and then PING!!! and everything went dead, now it doesn't start, it cranks, but it doesn't start, I first thought it was the INT-X map......but I don't know, it just doesn't seem like it
