the day after I passed inspection, I drove to work, car felt fine. was driving away from work and something was wrong. the power delivery was really weird and my turbos sounded like a jet engine (it sounded fucking awesome btw), I had no idea what was going on. my very first thought was that there was a boost leak, however there was no check engine light, but these engines *do* typically wait a bit before throwing a boost leak code.
when I did the radiator, I did pull the intercooler + charge pipe out for ease of access. so I was thinking that one of the clamps wasn't on properly and I was getting a leak somewhere.
today I opened the hood to investigate and found that I had somehow completely blown off one of the intercooler hoses, insane that I managed that considering I drive like a grandpa 😭.
anyway I fixed the clamp this afternoon and took it for a drive, feels healthier. will report back though.
