the case it should be easy to find.  Usually when a hose just splits
it only leaks under pressure - the car will start but with much throttle
it runs real bad because most of the air measured by the MAF is being
blown out through the split hose and it then runs super rich until you
take your foot off the gas.

It's also possible the intercooler has ruptured or an end has blown off.
This is real uncommon, so look for a loose hose first.
