busted water sprayer nozzle

i recently hit an aluminum post on the highway to avoid an accident because a truck lost some stuff off the back but anyhow i bent my intercooler watersprayer nozzle (one of the two on the front bumper) and now my wastegate (i think) lets all the boost off around 4000 to 5500 RPM's when i drive my evo hard causing it to be much slower than it should. is this my ecu telling my wastegate not to let it boost too high to aviod excess heat damage? thanks

If you hit something, why haven't you taken it in to have it looked at!?!?!

Sheesh, you K-Zoo guys are all the same... hittin **** and not even gettin it looked at...

Just kidding, any local shops out there yet? I know the ZooFactory is gone, but has anyother shop emerged?

Get that **** looked at. I damn sure the ECU isn't limiting you based on a busted washer sprayer...

Anyhow, any of you K-Zoo folk interested in comming out to the East Side for a Dyno Day at Payn Tech??? I know 3-4 Evos already interested......AWD Mustang Dyno + AWD EVO =

Shhot me an Email...

You probably knocked a hole in your intercooler. You might want to make an insurance claim.

I agree with Shape GSX.... At the very least, the accident broke more than just the IC sprayer...

Have you checked the IC tubing to make sure nne of the plumbing was affected by you little incident?

no but i did bend my ic and crack it alittle bit, but my car was doing the same thing before the accident so i took it in and they said that my ic water resevoir was unplugged and that there was no water spraying out of the ic sprayer which leaves me to believe that the busted nozzle not spraying could be causing the problem and the crack in the ic could just equal a lost of boost becasue my gauge only reaches a peak boost of 16 psi

The deactivation of the water sprayer will not cause any problems.
