FL bye bye boost on primary turbo after putting an 10lb ice bag on top of the intake...

so... since i am very smart. I went to an autocrossing school today and between the morning runs i bought x2 10 lb ice bags and placed them on top of the upper intake and y pype (99 SPEC) one to cool the car down... I went to race and I had no boost on the primary turbo, the secondary turbo works just fine and or power after 4.5k RPMS... anything below 4.5k rpms is like driving a 50hp lawnmower. I also found that when i backed up the water that had drained on the floor from the ice melting had green/purple colors in it... Im guessing a fuel leak some place do you guys agree? Anyways, my main concern is how do i check foe engine codes with the power fc?

These are the sensors/switches lit:
ELD, FPD, APR, CCN, NTR at idle with the ebrake on.

P.S. The car idles the same as it did before- pretty good at about 870 rpms

Could it be that the water got somewhere it wasent supoosed too and literatly fried my harness or something going to the primary turbo. does someone have a solenoid, air hose anything diagram that tells me where to start my search for lost boost?

The error codes and their meanings are listed in the Power FC manual which can also be seen from their website believe.

I fixed it. The main actuator that can only be seen from under the car was not working since its lever arm had popper out of the wastegate flapper.
