Exclamation im an idiot

we all know that, but hey i finally got a boost gauage(interceptor) and i was only getting around 6 pounds of boost, that would be why my car has felt doggy, so started looking around and noticed the bypass actuator wasn't closing the valve, turns out i had it capped, i didnt read the instructions 8 months ago when i installe my psi-fi kit, and i capped both sides. let me just say, WOW. the car is so strong, and i see 17.5 pounds off boost. the only thing i have is a hesitation. i also noticed the intercooler didn't look like it was working. so i squeezed each side, and nothing the fluid didn't even budge. i would venture to say its broken, could this be the cause of my heistation??? or should i swap out the plugs?

oh yeah quick side question, if one of the injectors i installed wasn't working would the computer through a code?

well shit, that was my next question. My '05 did that for a while, not really sure why, but my wires were never reversed.

Is your warrenty still good? If so, I would take it to saturn and tell them whats going on. And a broken injector could be causing the hesitation.
