I was driving last night at 12 midnight, about 40 MPH just lightly tapping the gas in 3rd gear and suddenly the car will not accelerate and boost is cut off, I try to step on the gas but still no boost, my boost guage stays at 0 and will not move and i feel nothing, then the car shuts off and just cruises to a stop. I turn off the ignition and try to restart, there in juice in it and the alternator is turning but it will not start. COuld this be a siezed turbo? I haev no clue what it could be, I checked all intercooler piping, all vacum lines, i am realyl scared now, my mods are only a downpipe and an intake. I have no clue what could haev caused this. I am sure a downpipe an intake could not be the culprit. So i get the car towed after waiting 4 hours till 4 :30 am then finally get home 50 miles later at 5:30 am. Just waiting to have the car towed to the dealership now. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
thanks

Check the fuse panel inside the passenger compartment. There is a fuse for "engine" or something like that. It blew on me and I had similar problems the car just died on the freeway, and you could feel the car trying to start but it wouldn't turn over.

Yes I agree check all fuses and relays. I had a loose ground wire that cause me to blow a fuse once. Is your check engine light on when the key is in the on position?

I doubt it's a seized turbo, but it shouldn't be too hard to check, take off your intake pipe and try rotating the compressor wheel with your finger.

Did you change anything recently?

i turned it back to stock boost a while ago, i couldnt afford to mess with fire till i had funds to cover it, now the only mods i do have are the intake and downpipe for quite a while...but the cars runing now, just a fuse issue i think..thanks alot guys

the electrical problems are all fixed, it was just a loose ground wire that caused all that previous stuff...boost is addictiing, but theres too many ppls motors popping even at stock to even mess with a boost contorlelr anymore till i have funds at least $4000 to back it up since its my only form of transportation and now that i just got my licence back its essential..
