I blew mine off when I uplifted my caravan to tow it home.
After pulling onto the hard shoulder on the M77, I diagnosed the fault then drove the remaining 10 miles home.
Yes it was low in power, especially uphill and when I got home the front of the caravan was black with the exhaust smoke.
After refitting the intercooler hose and tightening it up proper I had no further problem.
