So, I was driving my car just a few hours ago (2g gsx) when I heard a loud pop followed by a complete loss of power...yes, the car stalled while I was driving. I proceeded to shift to neutral and drift onto the shoulder.

I popped the hood and to my surprise saw that the recirculation hose had popped off of my intake. :confused:

I put it back on and proceeded to drive to class. Now, it seems that I am building boost much slower than before. What could have caused this?

At this point, I'm assuming that the stock bov is the culprit and is in need of replacement.

(Notes: oem boost levels, stock 2g bov, k&n filter/maf adapter)
 
I checked the intercooler piping and couplers and it's all bolted on tight.

Will be doing boost leak test in the next few days.
