Noted poorer than usual fuel mileage and lack of power in car over past few weeks. Boost gauge also indicated intake system was not holding pressure. Performed system pressure test at 15-20 psi and found intercooler to be leaking from previous damage (wrench shaped impression that was found when I replaced the lower grille after removing aftermarket grille installed by previous owner). New intercooler and upper system charge pipes ordered from ZZP. $640
