Went out to buy the new motor magazine just now, on the half way, suddenly car lost power and doesn't go above 3000 rpm, boost doesn't go above 0. and making big noise when accelerating. Am I in trouble??

Try checking your air intake lines all the way from the airbox to the TIP and then air pipes around the intercooler. any recent mods?
yes sir ! no recent mods
is your turbo making funny noises? whistling, whining? could be dead impellar?
or perhaps a massive vacuum leak? like boost tube popped off?
sounds like a boost hose or intake
As Sam said, any misfiring or CELs at all?

No misfiring and no cel, car still moving but just powerless even worse than my wife's Suzuki alto.
I'm really thinking boost hose has come off somewhere
Intake hose disconnected or leaking via a loose fitting, BOV vac line off, or possibly a jammed-open waste-gate controller or controller vac line has come off or is broken or leaking.

Sounds exactly like when the hose on the intercooler on blackbettys 6 was loose.
She couldn't rev past 3000, or keep up with a Lancer
Ok roughly checked the pipes, couldnt really see anything loosen so took my car to Mrt just now.
No hose loosen, Brett thinks is problem of turbo coz the turbo is making funny noise. He said they need more time to take the turbo off to check. So left car there tonight will see how it goes tomorrow. Sigh.. Problem again.... I am so bad luck :'(
hope I am not breaking 2 turbos in 5 months....
Dont MRT offer warranty on all their mods, it should be covered if this is the case.
Yes he said if it's the problem of Turbo itself it will be covered, but for a daily driving car... Why so many problems....
Sounds like bs to me.

Yeah I concur with @Jmac, doesn't sound likely that the turbo would be stuffed again. That's the same result I've had in the past when an intercooler hose has popped off on any of my cars.
Bingo

Although really surprised that they say they didn't find any loose hoses...
finger cross, hope it will end up with small issue
2 turbo's in 5 months?
What the hell are you doing to that car mate lol
