Road Hazards

Here in Atlanta, we have a running list of things spilled on the roads by truckers including, pallets of watermelons, 100+ chickens, cows, chicken fat, a wohle load of pinestraw, and the list goes on. But today was a subtle kicker. A truck carrying a load of wood chips and saw dust forgot to cover his load and was dumping it all the way the highway. Why do I bore you with frivilous information you ask? Well needless to say, I was cruising behind this truck for some time. Not by choice. Slowly, I was loosing power and boost. I pulled off to the side of the road, cracked open the hood to find and the engine bay covered in saw dust and wood chips. Opened the airbox to find a pound of wood chips in the airbox. Boy that 3" air box mod works great!
So my question: After cleaning out the engine bay to the best of my ability and pulling the airbox and dumping that out, I drove the rest of the way to work. Power and boosty returned to normal. Is there other things I shoud be checking before I put this back of the road tonight?
