So my car started running real rough the other day, and I noticed today after it runs, the drivers side exhaust manifold is hot, and the passenger side is cold. Why would one side be completely dead? I hooked up my boost gauge and have absolutely no vacuum at idle, and I replaced the spark plugs and cleaned the IAT (that was all before I noticed the passenger side was dead). I thought it may be a blown head gasket, but even with that not all cylinders would be dead.

Cold as in like can touch it by hand?

Check the your COPs.

Yeah, the motor had ran for maybe 1-2 minutes and the drivers side was just about too hot to touch and the passenger side was like ambient temperature. I checked the cops, and the ohms all came out good, but i doubt 4 cops would go bad on the same side all at once.

Ok Ive decided my cam might have skipped a link and killed my timing. Sound about right? Im gonna start taking it apart...

yeah it could be that, but you're probably already taking it apart so let us know what you find
