[s-cars] MAF to turbo hose torn

[Mike Claire]

It's beginning to dawn on me that a turbo hose failure
is more than just an inconvenience.  I've never owned
a turbo car before.  I always figured if the turbo
system somehow failed that the car would continue to
run "normally aspirated".  I guess not.  If the turbo
(or hoses) quit, are you stranded?  Can you limp home?


Thanks
Mike
