Fmic coupling slid off during drive
So like an idiot i forgot to tighten the vbands on one of the couplings from the lower lend part of the lower charge pipe to the intercooler...i floored it in 2nd gear and i heard like a suction noise clogging a line and my car was laggy. Luckily i wasnt too far away from home..now would this do any damage if i kept driving like this?? I work tomorrow morning and then have an hr drive to another part of town ill be free saturday to fix this.

From what I've read around here when my charge pipe blew up and I had to get the car home...no. Keep in mind you'll have no boost, obviously, and you'll be sucking in unfiltered air, not good, and there's the possibility of overspinning the turbos. If you absolutely have to drive it, take it easy and don't rev more than necessary. Fix ASAP.

Well if you forgot to put the vbands on or whatever, then I don't understand why your not out replacing the coupler. You have the tools. Wait until tomorrow...and then the couples slides right on in and thru the throttle body.
