Do you think it damaged the turbo?

yesterday at 5pm, my Saab decided to shut off in four lanes of traffic on the Ben Franklin bridge in Philadelphia. I tried to start it back up, the turbo gauge went the whole way to red, cycled back and forth between red and back to normal. Check engine light was flashing also. The car kept shutting off. I could barely keep it idled. So I stopped the vehicle and put on the hazard lights while I called for help. Meanwhile, a DRPA police vehicle came behind me, insisting to push the vehicle to the other side of the bridge but I declined. To get over the bridge, I kept turning the car on, reving the engine as high as I could get it, dumping the clutch to get another 100 feet or so. I did that in intervals to the crest of the bridge and coasted down the rest of the way to a safe area where I opened the hood and found that the 3 inch intercooler hose had come off its fitting on the right side. I attached the hose and was on my way. I'm just concerned about the damage I may have done to my car trying to get it off the bridge.
