You need to be a bit more specific with your description. Is it not revving past around the 3k mark? What is coming out of the exhaust? Is the engine running rough etc......

unbolt the exhaust before the cat converter and drive it and see if its fixed. thatl rule that out. and unbolt the dump pipe on the turbo and check if the back turbo wheel is still there/all there. thatl rule that out. then come back here with your report
