    Check for more leaks in boost and vacuum lines.

    If it is actually not boosting at all, as in, zero pressure above atmosphere, check the C-clip on the wastegate arm also. I find it unlikely you had both failures at once though.

    At all? Are you sure the turbo/IC hose is properly seated?

    There's no reason to think you blew your turbo because of your intercooler coming off. Why did it come off? Was it just a hose or two that came disconnected, or did the whole thing actually come off its mounts/bolts?

    No boost to me says there's something still leaking. Pending answers to the questions above, I'd just go through and check all hoses/hose clamps and connections.

    I checked everything and looks like my cupling is messed up and every time I go to boost it pops off in the front
