Exclamation Help me avoid the stealership

So over the weekend some ice blocks fell off some d bags truck and I tried to move and avoid but apparently it didn't work out. Soon after I felt like the car was about to stall out. It shut off by itself once. I am missing a right side fog light now as well. I cannot go past 2 lbs of boost. The only time I get boost is when I first start up my car and 2 mins later it doesn't go past 2 lbs. In fact, if I increase my speed I actually LOSE boost? Da fuq? I'm hoping it's a computer learn down? Maybe? Any ideas?

I've had a cracked intercooler/piping 2 times already and this isnt the same. The only plastic one is the bottom one? ummm...like I said i get full boost until 2 minutes later then it runs bad. So cracked wouldnt make sense unless it had no boost from the start?
