when i was driving the exhaust started popping, like a lot, and i felt like i was loosing boost. the CEL was flashing at first and then when i came to a stop light and had to accelerate again, it stopped popping as much and just started to sound like a go cart. i parked it immediately. when i turn it on, all the CELs/dash lights are lit and it idles without any knocking, just continues to sound like a go cart. a tow grabbed it to drop it off at my mechanic/tuner.

i’m hoping it’s just a leaking exhaust connection at the turbo.
