you felt nothing as in the car died or as in the turbo didnt spool?

because its a little broad...and it could be many things depending on which you are having issues with.

if the car died, check the terminals and make sure they are connected properly, go have the alternator and battery checked and see if either are bad, check the fuel filter for clogs, clean out the pcv valve.

there are plenty of options of things gone wrong.

if the turbo doesnt spool, you can narrow it down considerably...


so, depending on which is the issue.....
