If you consider the volume of air exiting that small hole, to get to 10 psi of boost or so you need to shove a lot of air into the intake system, when it left out that small little hole velocity increased signifigantly resulting in the pop you most likely herd and sending the gromit flying across then engine. That particular hose control the FPR so it was just dumping all the fuel it (correct me if I'm wrong) could into the fuel rail causeing the uncontroable power of the engine. Sounds like a fun trip. On a side note I forgot to tighten the hose clamp on the intercooler once and when that popped off under boost in second gear it sounded like a tire exploding and the engine shut right down. Fun times.
