Had 850R wagon towed, lost boost after 850 1996

Wife got a flat in left front tire, called a towing company. Seems the guy forced the hitch rig thing under the car's front. The front lip was scratched, the black plastic undershield was ripped, and a black plastic part fell off. It wasn't until the next day that I noticed that there is no boost- don't feel it, and boost gauge needle stuck at 1200 o'clock. Is it possible that something was damaged by the towing hitch? I know the intercooler is down there. I'm hoping it's just a hose. Anybody know what stuff can be damaged by this sort of abuse?
