Turbo pipe split

Does anyone know if a split turbo hose can cause any damage. The reason I ask is that I am going on a long trip of approx 3000 miles in two days time and have no time to get it fixed.

    3000 miles with no turbo boost will be horrible!  If its a diesel it'll produce a lot more soot, and fill up the DPF quickly if you have one.

    I wouldn't recommend 30 miles with a split boost pipe let alone 3000.  If you've really got no way around it at least try and bodge it with gaffa tape or something.

    Thanks lads. It looks like a gaffa tape job for now.

    is it the hose or the pipe?

    I drove around in my CMAX with a split turbo pipe for over a year, didnt do any real harm. Worst case scenario, your fuel efficiency is reduced and you leave plumes of billowing black smoke whenever you accelerate firmly.
