Default I just installed my ER intercoolers, now she doesn't run. Read on...
The car started up and ran for about 10 seconds, then started to break up, and died. TONS of black smoke, and now it wont start at all.

What should I start looking for?

Did you check that the intercoolers were free of packing peanuts?

If there was, what do I do now? What damage has it caused?
