Turbo tube - stranded in the desert

Driving up a hill on the road at about 65mph we heard a pop and a rush of air. Truck was spewing black smoke after the pop and HD no power and no boost. Pulled off the side of the road and the inlet tube to the turbo popped off. We have somebody coming to bring us tools. We are going camping. Should I take the truck back, or is it safe to continue one the tube is back on. I'm run I g the street tune from innovative, just FYI. I'm on my iPhone. I love technology.

You are talking about the intake tube right? If its not broken and you can get it tight there should be no problem.
Make sure the CCV didnt pop out too (its a small plastic tube that runs into the bottom of the intake tube)
