Wtf man.
The condenser is hanging on by a thread. Don't know if that matters.
And because I don't have access to a compressor, I sprayed the end caps and piping with Brakeclean.
Well as much as I could without removing the bumper.
And not much happened. No difference in sound nor idle.
It gets hard when the only tools you have are screwdrivers and some channel locks. >=[
So if anyone is in the Ft. Hood/Killeen area who is willing to lend a hand and some tools, its greatly appreciated.
Side question: could a hole in the rubber hose on the cold side connecting to the IC cause the same issues?

Alright so, I have a damn near stock 2009 SS/TC.
The only upgrade is a HAHN CAI.
Well, the other day I was on my way to have my CEL codes read, and on the way back, I managed to drive over Texas's biggest ditch.
I bottomed out, doing around 5-10 MPH.
And immediately afterwards I was getting zero boost.
The codes that were read were p0101, 0420, and 0455.
The very next day, a friend of mine decided to pull the codes, which were the sameand then cleared them.
After that my car wouldn't start without the MAF being plugged in.
Took it to the dealership and they refuse to do anything because of thecar being straight piped.(previous owner.)
I would love to do a boost leak test but I have no compressor and very few tools.
Any input?

Sounds like the intercooler......so do you mean you have straight pipe exhaust? If so that shouldn't void ur warranty. Which dealership did u go to?

Warranty doesn't cover you bottoming out the car. So its pretty unlikely they would cover it.
As far as the not having a cat no that has nothing to do with this and it wouldn't void the warranty on anything other than problems it causes.

A friend of mine owns a shop and can get me a complete Injen IC setup for around 200.
Input?
And if I did that, would I have to order mounting brackets 'cause I'm not seeing them on the IC like you so with ZZP or MPx?

I didn't know Injen had an IC set up. But ZZP has an entire kit and you can get the higher clearance IC so it doesn't hang so low. Also, I'm not sure if GenuineSaab is still around, but they had an IC for us also.

Ok, so time for closure.
I got my hands on an Evo 8 IC for 80 bucks.
Replaced the stocker, and holy sheet. Not only did it fix every issue I was having with the car, but it feels like it is boosting more than before.
All in all, easy fix, easy install, and personally I feel like it was an easy upgrade.
Btw, this is where I cracked the endtanks.
