Out and about, accelerating and making boost (Murph kit - stage 2), loud POP, engine dies.
Engine cranks, but will will not restart. Good opportunity to use AAA card for free tow home.![banghead](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/banghead.gif)
Appears all belts (including SC belt) are intact.
Peeked inside drivers side timing belt cover - the timing belt (the portion of it I can see) appears intact.
Checked oil dipstick - oil only - NO coolant.
Any ideas?![Confused](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)

I'll investigate further tomorrow.

Don,
Check the boot to MAf area. It may have pushed off. I popped mine off the first time under boost, and that loud POP scared the crap out of me. It still ran, and I was able to drive it home though....

Thanks everybody for the advice. ![Cheers](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)
I'll reseat and tighten MAF clamp to the throttle. & reseat the boot to the MAF.
I'll post the results.

The only times I've heard a BOOM were:
1) a friend blew a valve clean out of his tailpipe in a modded beetle and
2) my 85's intake exploded from leaky injectors

That really wasn't necessary.

Thrust bearing checked less than 1,000 miles ago.
From the 1st post -
"Peeked inside drivers side timing belt cover - the timing belt

That reminds me - Don't forget to check your transmission,
you've been missing the shift to 2nd lately.
