hit curb hard enough to crack front splitter. Can’t build boost. No idle
Hit a high curb parking by accident. Didn’t think I hit it that hard. When I went back to start my car after I parked it wouldn’t start. Finally started. Wouldn’t boost. CEL came on. Reduced power mode came on. Now it starts but idles horeibly. 500-1500 bouncing. Almost dies. Keeps going. A lot of black fluid coming out of my exhaust. Check engine codes say mass airflow sensor. I cleaned it and cleared the codes and it does the same thing. Did I crack my intercooler?

I bottomed out once coming down a really steep driveway and lost almost all power. At the time, I had zero knowledge of cars and took it to the dealer haha. It took them almost a month to figure out there was a hole in one of the plastic end tanks. Of course, after "fixing it" and me trying to drive it with the same issues that is...oh and my bill was over $1000 after them ******* around with it and installing a new factory intercooler. One of the biggest mistakes I ever made taking it there but hey, we all learn someday
