Red face BANG

Had a new clutch fitted at Scoobyclinic 2day. The guys did a top job very very very fast and good price. On way home car was so much faster. Going down the dual carriageway at speed had a big bang n lost power. Got it pulled over and one of the pipes to the actuator had blown off. Car was idling at bout 100 rpm struggling to stay on. Any ideas wot its goin to be? Unplugged the air sensor to get it home. Ive got no power at all no acceleration. Been told to check the pipes on the intercooler, is it just a few bolts to take it off? Was told there was a pipe to check underneath thats why im askin took the recirculating dump valve off and alot off pressure escaped and car idled bout right then put back on but it started to stall again. Please tell me it aint the turbo.

Any idea and help will be very appriciated.

Thanks

Nathan
