think i found the answer to my problems!!!

[mattspyder]

so i was taking my intercooler off to clean (which was a very good idea) looked like a bunch of shit coming out of it. so i look at one of my couplers that connects the pipe right to the intercooler, and i notice it has a big ass hole in the middle of the coupler, it was about a inch and a half long. this would be causing me not be to able to boost past 5 psi right, and cause my engine not to be able to get up in rpms when im driving..

You are correct. Post up after you replace the coupler to tell us how the car feels.

This is why we keep telling people to pressure test the intake. There tend to be all sorts of things like this even on cars that seem to be making good boost.
