Last night I was driving on a gravel road and hit some huge ruts. Needless to say it was very rough and it ripped my lip off dented the hell out of my intercooler. I found most of the issues already and know what I need but there's a few things I can't figure out.

When I start in first gear my car is very rough and vibrate-y I don't know what's causing this. Could the leak (I'm assuming it's leaking) from the intercooler be causing my car to drive rough like that or should I be looking for something else?

 

does your car boost fine? did you bottom out? maybe your messed up the lower mount.

 

No it doesn't boost fine thats why I was wondering if it was just a major leak. That's a solid point I never thought of the mount that could definitely do it. Suspension is making some weird noises now too I really messed up.

 

boost leak test just to be sure the intercooler is not leaking. if it is then start from there.

 

X2, always boost leak check first
