Default Boost leak outta nowhere!? Help!

I need some help! I'm getting tuned this weekend, so this is happening at the worst time.

I hit a bump earlier, and now I am hitting no boost. Vaccuum lines are good, all of the couplers on the IC piping are good, so I'm not really sure where the leak could be coming from. Wastegate staying open? How exactly do I go about fixing that?

Any help is appreciated

With the engine off/throttle body shut, use a rubber cap with a hole in the center of it along with an air chuck to apply air pressure to the intake side of your turbo.

You will find the leak very quickly.

When I hit the bump, it hit the intercooler, knocking the charge piping loose. I just had to realign it and move the coupler back over the piping. :embarrassed:
