Can anyone help me diagnose what is happening to my car?

I was accelerating pretty fast on the highway yesterday, there was a loud pop and the car started losing power and died. I got it towed home and I looked under the hood and nothing seemed off but I am not sure what to look for.
So any help would be appreciated

Check the air pipes from turbo outlet to intercooler and from intercooler to throttle body. One of them will be damaged or popped out. I think it's the only reason of your problem.

^^^+1 ...they blow off the clamps pretty often.

There have been a few of these recently, so also check the intercooler itself. Particularly the bottom of it as it is exposed to more weather and potential damage.

The hose completely came off since it's clamp was loose. Took a second to put it back on. Thanks
