I was goin home from school today on the interstate. I was driving pretty easy all the way then I put it in 4th and got on it. It went to about 10 lbs on my gti-r t28 and then I had no power. It sounded like a wrx when i tried to give it gas, pulled it over and oil was everywhere on the turbo side of the motor. As i looked it came from the crankcase breather. it blew the hose off. I got it towed home and now it will barely start and not do a damn thing. So..... what do you think... I had 450cc injectors safc2 and fmic. Are the pistons gone ? rings ? I have no clue yet. Im about to a compression check and see what the damage is.. BUT 10psi felt pretty good though

The dreaded H4 sound usually means a dead cylinder, or two. Piston ring(s) maybe?
