WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE RUBBER GROMMETS IN MY ENGINE TO,..

WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE RUBBER GROMMETS IN MY ENGINE TO BLOW THEMSELVES COMPLETELY OUT?? Specifically the one on the far left coming off the fuel regulator/dashpot and the one in the back on the far right<-(this one is on a double connector on the valve cover(pcv valve I THINK). This happened to me right after I left the SAAB dealer and got on the h/way. I reached the ramp @ 35mph,then accelerated to h/way speed,as I'm accelerating it bucked real hard then took off like a bat outta hell. I couldnt slow the car down while it was in gear(pulling on its own!!),I had to wait till I got close enough to the off ramp,throw it in neutral and shut the engine down.The car finally slowed down for me and stopped just off the exit ramp. I popped the hood,had a look,the one grommet off the fuel reg./dashpot was blown out so hard it lodged itself behind my p/s fluid res.,and wasnt found until 3 days later!! The other one thankfully has hoses connected to it and didnt get far(just flopped around on the eng.). I got a tow back to BECK SAAB,they replaced the rubber "o-ring" looking things that hold the plastic grommets in place,found another 9000cd turbo,stripped the parts off that I needed,replaced 'em and sent me home another $55 poorer.
So now that u've read another one of my HORROR stories,what do think could have blown them out?? Overboost?? Backpressure??
THANX FOR THE HELP!!
