try unplugging the mas and see if your car runs okay.
if it runs with no issue.. Im gonna say you have a faulty mas.

YEAH I already unplugged the maf, and it ran fine didn't stall but no boost...it's the 1st thing I tried...but I can't understand why they die so fast...

I dont know!.. I guess just too sensitive?!
as for your no boost.. does your clutch engage at all? did you maybe pop off a boost pipe and now your clutch wont engage because there is a huge leak in the system?

Then my boost gauge won't work?

That is what I was thinking too, especially with the "loud pop" description.

well i know that...but you was saying a leak....my boost gauge wouldn't even show a VAC if that was the case right?

i would think if there was a leak the boost gauge would reflect that.... let us know what it was. i know when i replaced my right side pipe a small leak caused my gas light to blink but replaced the clamps and all is good. but nothing like you discribed...

it depends where your boost guage is hooked up to, if you have hooked it up correctly into the intake plenum after the throttle butterfly then yes you will show vacume, as the closed butterfly will be causing the vacume.
i would also reccomend checking all the charge pipe carefully from the supercharger to the engine

Well its connected just how Paul had his connected..I still think however its the MAF and the loud pop was a misfire...I do have some Good and Bad news for everyone....I'm trading the car in for a SRT8 Jeep if everything goes all good on this deal....Hopefully the stealership can fix this problem fast, and i get my rim in since i'm rolling on the spare.
