I was just driving home, and my car was fine. I hit a moderate bump, and then all of a sudden, my car won't go above 2,000 RPM. It only goes up to about 0 on my boost gauge and then begins sputtering. If I push the clutch in, the idle drops and it dies. I looked at all of my hoses, and as far as I can tell, all are still attached. Is this an intake problem? Is it an electrical/ignition problem? My worst fear is that my turbo is somehow fried. Please, if you have any info on this, help me out.
 
Did you check your spark plugs, wires, and connection at the plugs and at the coil? Might've knocked one of them loose
 
Hey. If you car is starting up fine, it sounds like your blew off your intercooler pipe. No big deal at all, just reattach it and make sure its tight. If its a pain to start up, stalling, bogging, that type of thing, check the harness to yoru MAF (the block box that goes to your intake) Hope thats it!

edit:like quasimondo said, also check the spark plugs and all the obvious things, just make sure it all looks tight. If it starts feeling like crap the second you hit boost, I can almost guarantee you its an intercooler pipe came loose
