Car running sluggish+no boost.

I own a 09 Cobalt SS/TC.

And well yesterday, I was forced to drive it through town when we got a hell of a load of snow all day.

Car isn't generating boost what so ever. Car is running hella sluggish. No jump to it when I accelerate. Not sure what else I can say, aside from that's all I've noticed.

Hopefully someone has been down this path before.

Those were checked before I posted, thanks.

And it entirely slipped my mind, car is in limp mode.

IVe heard that radiators can ice over, blocking airflow and causeing overheating.....

One would think that an intercooler is subject to that some vulnerabilty, espessly being as low as they are + deep snow + being forced to drive through it.

Turns out there is a hole in the intercooler.

I'd say something in regards to the sarcastic remarks earlier, but eh, not worth it.

New intercooler en route, car will be good to go in a week.

You must have a tune then? Your tubing came loose and shot the IC forward, cracking the tank on the front side of the tank, right? I'm on my third OEM IC. I feel your pain.
