For what it worth, I had a similar experience on the way home. I had
blown off the hose to the intercooler inlet; have to pull off the
plastic cover under the engine to see it on the front driver side.
It wouldn't run because the MAF measured no air flow and thus little/no
fuel was supplied to the motor.
SHORT TERM WORKAROUND: Disconnect the electrical connector to the MAF by
the aircleaner, and the motor will revert to default setting for fuel
flow based on RPM. I was able to limp it home.
Might be worth a try,
