I cant believe it spooled at all-- I had a hole the size of a quarter in the intercooler piping on my civic and when I fixed it it felt waaaaaay faster than I expected... as stated you might want to check the rest of the welds too, who knows what you might find???

What the **** happened to your pipe? Looks like you have scraped and dented the **** out of it.. I don't know if you can really blame it on the weld. Where is it pre, or after interooler?
