Blown turbo or popped hoses?

I was just on my way to Leeds, gave it WOT on the sliproad when BAM! lost lots of power.

 

I thought I'd driven over my undertray or something.

 

No smoke anywhere, but the no1 turbo isn't doing much.

 

The car drives perfectly smoothly and cleanly, but the no1 turbo isn't doing much. It's still making its spooly noise but much quieter.

 

What do you think?

 

I replaced my fan shroud sometime around Wednesday and had some of the IC pipes off then so I am hoping it's just one of those that's popped off. Haven't really driven the car much since then as I was away over the weekend.

 

How do the symptoms sound (no smoke? still slightly spooly but very faint ?)

 

cheers guys!

It might sound like a silly question, but if the IC pipe does pop off at the roadside for example, how are you supposed to fix it at the roadside?! :blink:

 

With a 10mm socket ;)

 

The one that popped off here was only really accessible from underneath with the undertray removed though.

 

It was where the n/s rubber elbow joins the plastic part that's mounted to the frame below the battery.
