Conclusion: Since i was not running on 93 or higher octane, the engine misfired and the turbo inlet tube popped off. (It is the chrome hose in the picture). I just changed back to the map3 and put a double clamp on it for time being before I looked into changing out the pipe/BOV.

Again, I would strongly suggest running the recommend Octane IMO
