    Been driving around for a about a week now on my topswap and xp cam setup..Scanned and all I got was about 1.4 degrees of kr total. Anyway today i was driving it and I came out of a turn and noticed that I had lost just about ALL power!! Could barley go anywhere and had to limp it home..I honestly believe that it is the bottom end of the motor but im not 100 percent sure..

    Symptoms:

    Something that sounds like a Rod knock
    A screeching sound, not the belt
    overheating
    Oil light is coming on and off
    No SES codes
    Oh and smoke came out of the TB also
    Noises are louder when i put my head down by the Passenger side tire
    Boost is working


    What I checked:
    I checked all plugs, all looked good
    Oil, no coolant in oil either
    pulled both VC and checked all the valves to make sure they were working properly
    Vac Lines etc. etc.

    Any Idea what it could be??
