well it all started at the track. it would break up under higher boost, then it started breaking up underl lower boost, then it started breaking up without boost, then it wouldnt even accelerate after a while. so the only way i could limp it home was to unplug the mas airflow sensor. i checked whatever ic pipes i could get to, and they werent disconnected or anything, it sure runs like theres an intercooler pipe blown off, but i couldnt see anything, im gonna take the bumper off tomorrow probably and see is theres any piping blown off. but does it sound like something else? its weird that it would only run with the MAF unplugged
 
the thing is bro that your MAF has 3 sensors in it 1 the MAF 2 The IAT and 3 the barometric sensor, so it could be one or all of theses sonsors, i had a simular problem my self with my frist gen, i cleaned it one with soap and water (BAD IDEA) it totaly destroyed my MAFS and i had to steal one from the junky yard, im not paying 240 bucs for some plastic and metal that doesnt cost more then 3 dollars to make. fixed the problem right up though.
 
well i wasnt thinking, and my overflow tube was pointed at the intake, and got coolant all in the filter and stuff. i think that might have killed something in there.
