Major loss of power

[adderson20]

ok so when i bought my car it was fine. one day i took my car for a drive in mid boost i noticed the gauge wasnt climbing any higher so i looked under the hood and found that the intercooler coupling before it goes into the bend on the throttle body was torn so i replaced it and after doing so the car will barely move it doesnt want to rev up at all and when i put the torn coupling back on the car runs just fine with the exception of a major boost leak! need help cause its pissin me off

o ya the mods on the car are:
Apexi Power FC
3inch Exhaust
HKS mushroom intake
FMIC
Blitz BOV
Greddy Boost controler and Turbo Timer
AX53B70 turbo

any help will be much appreciated

You might want to post what kind of engine you have. RB25 S1/2. The more detail you have in your post the more someone can help you out bud!

[adderson20]

the engine is a RB25DET and i believe it is a series 2 engine cause i could not find an ignitor chip at the back side of the motor

was the car tuned with the torn coupler?

was the car tuned with the torn coupler?

That's exactly what I was thinking. Is it running leaner now?

[adderson20]

not sure if the car was ever tuned the guy never said but its not runnin lean its real rich the exhaust smells real gassy

It would REALLY suck if it was tuned with the torn coupler. But it would explain why it runs better with the torn one instead of a new one.
