I blew the charge pipe right off the throttle body in my 3/s while romping on it tonight. The thing barely ran, I had to limp it off the freeway into a parking lot. Reattached the pipe, drove home. Now my top end sounds a little loud, my gas smells like oil, and I think i completely blew out the rear turbo gasket because its popping when i rev it.
Does just blowing the charge pipe make it run that rich? DO I need to change my oil like 5 times now?
Help!
Are you sure you don't just have a boost leak now? That will make it run rich.

jet are you on AIM right now?
This couldn't possibly be my headgasket could it? I'm going out to change my oil a few times now.
If your oil smells like gas it is something pretty major, might be a hole in the piston. time to do a compression check. Or did you really mean your gas smells like oil? Do you mean the exhaust?

my oil smelled like gas, on the dipstick. I relaly dont think I have a hole in the piston, just washed the cylinders. Do you think thats not true? I dont fully understand all this MAF stuff, does running with a massive boost leak (read, no boost) cause the car to run very rich?

ok, 3 oil changes later, everything appears good except for the popping coming from the rear bank, I think the turbo gasket is gone, it was going before but I think I blew it out good.

oh, and absolutely no metal in the oil, So I think my pistons are fine. However, headgasket? maybe.
