    I just got my car back today from a minor collision repair SoK. The front right wheel was bent back and they had to replace the strut and wheel and such. They also said the engine cradle was cracked so they fixed that. Now it feels like the car is running slower and by that i mean accelerating slower. I tried to floor it in second gear from 20 and it didnt accelerate like it used to. What could be wrong? They didnt run a diagnostics yet so im going to take it back there for that and recommend Kingwrx. I need his name to do that though lol. Also, could they have messed something up while fixing the engine cradle? Because the damage caused from the curb could not have effected the engine in anyway.
    Thanks a ton

    Now it sounds although my engine is growling. Sort of like a honda with an exhaust. EW amirite. Does anyone know what this could be? I do have a blow off valve but i dont know if it would make it sound like that. And my exhaust sounds different as well. Im worried

    Haha stephen I told you I'd make you famous.

    It sounds like you have a leak. Could you have possibly cracked the header when you hit the curb? I have a stock bpv if you wanna swap it on and check how it runs without your bov.

    Also do you have a tune? You may want to reflash it.

    No tune. Getting that Christmas. And im not sure if i did. I'm thinking it may of happened when they fixed it? because i turned it on and rolled it on to the tow truck and everything sounded fine. Then when i drove it off the lot. I noticed lots of differences. I have a stock bpv as well and am considering putting it on until i get the car tuned. Also. I pm'd King 2 weeks ago and never got a response.
