Could be busted line or hole through the condenser.

Yea basically it’s not blowing out any cold air lol and unfortunately I did it myself it was working just fine first few days then today and yesterday I’ve been getting hot air.

could be punctured.. might be from the center bolt from the radiator support.. Some companies recommend changing it to a shorter one. Did you check for leaks?

Navi has to be correct. Either you knocked a hole in the condenser or broke a line. Probably put a small hole in the condenser since you said it worked the first few days.
Checking now as we speak just started taking the bumper off. Really hoping it’s a small puncture like you said. I have to be a little more tentative to these things smh thanks for the input Navi

Just throw some gauges on the system and see if its empty rather than tearing it all apart.
this is the simplest(read best) solution. If it is a small crack or puncture somewhere you might not even see it when you take everything apart again.

In to see what happened as I'm in the middle of an IC install. Finishing it up tomorrow so hopefully I don't have any issues.

Do a dye test.
It’s as ghost stated before you above I moved a hardline and bent it to the side while attached rookie mistake on my end but you live and learn it’s been fixed good luck with your install bro take your time. I rushed it what I could’ve done in a few hours I did in like 2/3 but I made mistakes along the way

No worries...I did make mistake and made a dent on the bottom of the radiator while I had it supported by jack stands. No leaks and the coolant temps seem fine but it was a dump mistake that happened while I was fighting to get the intercooler on. Oh well.
