bad timing chain?
i was driving on the freeway about 80mph when i felt the car kind of heavy. i would put it on neutrel and rev it and boost gauge wouldnt go up. at the end i ended up pulling over. as i was doing this i noticed a very small kind of knoking noise. i shut off the car right away. towed it home. ive opened the valve cover everythign seems good. but the chain is really really loose. could it be that the tensioner mest up? just put a new one 1 month ago.

mine is a sc ss and with the engine off before it used to be tight we just re did the timing when we replaced the engine.
i will get to redoing the timing and the replacing tensioner. i just hope nothing mest up engine doesnt even have 4kmiles :/

You should also get a CEL if it jumps for crank postition vs timing (something along those lines, I can't remember the exact ones. But there is a CEL for it.)
