tonight, after coming home from the gym at about 2am, i am driving home to my house. my car previously blew some piston rings or something so i had a weird idle and blue smoke would come out of the exhaust everytime i would hit boost. so i try to stay under 2.5k rpm driving home then in 4th gear i feel my car slowing down... i floor it and the rpms seems to slowly drop so i keep gassing the car to keep it from dying. but then it just dies. i pull over thinking my car died again from the vented BOV so i crank the car and nothing. the engine turns but it doesnt start up. so i decide to push my car home (i only lived 1/2 mile from where my car died) i called up a friend and pushed it. does anyone know what happened? did i bend my valves or did all my pistons rings blow, causing me to loose total compression and not drive at all??

Remove the fuel pump fuse (might be blown?) and crank it for like 10secs in order to remove all press from the system. Disconnect the fuel line going into the fuel rail and point it at some kind of container. Then put the car in ON, do not crank it. Fuel should spur out like hell into the container.

But since you have a Wabro 255HP and I know how noisy they are, before you start disconnecting stuff, do you here it turn on for 5secs after you turn the key to ON?

Also the car might have drown in fuel... you have bigger injectors? Try removing the plugs and see if they reak fuel or not.
