PFOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so I'm late to a meeting last night and I'm heading down a relatively main road near my house on the way to said meeting. I gave SPiGy so go juice and all of the sudden PFOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! Cool sound, but less cool when you think about the fact that it was your car! Anyway, the car bucks forward, dies and I'm coasting downhill saying to myself what the hell just happened???!!! (actually it was slightly more graphic than that!).
I am able to coast part of the way up another hill into a neighborhood and fortunately made it into a parking space. Thinking that if I've just blown the motor, trying to re-start it wouldn't cause any further damage, so I restart it and it starts right up, but then the idle starts fluctuating violently, 400 (just about stalling) to about 1500. I pop the hood and hope to find something easy to fix and obvious.... Sure enough, the intercooler pipe popped off of the throttle body. Grabbed a screw driver from the trunk and in a couple of minutes was back on the road (thankfully)! Anyway, it was something. The car seems fine and doesn't seem to have suffered any ill effects of the ordeal. Cross your fingers for me that nothing more catastophic happened.
