Proper grammar next time please, it's kind of hard to read. Are you throwing codes? So it started stuttering to my understanding, I'm kind of confused by your post.
 
boost leak/air metering issue...check the the intake pipe as well as all of the intercooler piping
 
sorry
yea im sorry if i have things spelled wrong i have a reading disability and cant spell that good


the car wont idol right an it blows black smoke like i cant drive the car the codes is IAT
and theres no boost leak

I'm sorry, I'm just a little tired and it's hard to read.

Black smoke won't be caused by a intercooler pipe blowing off. Is there a blueish tint to the smoke? Also does it only smoke when under hard acceleration and what's the severity of the smoke (thickness)?
 
First things first, pop your hood when you have sufficiant light, look/feel for any hoses that might have slipped off, clamps that got bumped anything out of the ordinary.

The code you had, Did you look it up to see what causes it?
 
Double check all of your intercooler pipes like everyone else said. Last time mine blew off, thats what happened.
 
i went an check other things on the car checked the wireing an shit an then ran the OBD2 agian an it throw 47

Bro, you seriously have to work on your spelling. I highly doubt your car threw 47 codes. Are there some zero's before, after, or in the middle of that code? I am thinking it is just one code possibly, and you read it wrong.

Not to be an ass caleb but yes it could. reason why is the computer is dumping alot of fuel in for the air it should be getting then running rich. But most likely with the whole cupler off it wont run under load at all.

On the ole ladys volvo she blew off a coupler did the same exact thing and some how the coupler was still on the intercooler piping just no worm gear so it was fine under normal people driving but when a retard aka me got behind the wheel I found out it had a boost leak quick.

More than likley you have a boost leak.
 
He is trying to say code 47 is coming up. I dont know what code 47 is but that is what he is trying to say. I have some serious spelling and grammar problems due to english not being my mother tounge so I feel his pain a bit.

sorry I couldn't see it running well enough for him to be jamming on it causing the smoke. I have never seen one run that hard with a coupler or pipe blown off though. I do understand the boost leak from what your saying though.
