Turbo Problems???

On my way home from a party tonight as i was getting on the highway with my X-PSD, I pushed on the peddle and my turbo started to whistle. At this point it sounded as if something came loose...Hose maybe???? and the whistle grew louder. As the turbo grew louder i lost my boost. It was evident to me on the rest of the way home i had no turbo. Any Ideas? It is a 02 X with about 6K on it. I know i can take it to the dealer but if i can just re-atatch something i would rather. I am fairly good with mechanics and Electronics so that is not a problem as long as i know where to go. (I troble shoot Locomotives) Thank you for any help you can render.

one of your intercooler hoses might have come loose.

You might also want to check the cross over inlet into the intake of the engine, these are the orange boots right on top of the engine right by the valve covers, just go through and tighten those up and also the intercooler pipes.
