Can Technosqaure ECU even read boost and changed the fuel and ignition maps dependent on boost?

No, it can't, thus no upgrading without getting your ECU reflashed.

O.K.

It was the Intake off the throttle body that blew off

Welcome to FI,

Isn't it fun?

Glad you found the problem, I am constantly checking my hoses and belts. What guages do you have boost and wideband?

You can try, but since one thing came disconnected who's to say something else didn't. Have you checked all the vacuum lines connections to ensure nothing else popped off?

Good luck Fluidz, just keep yer cool, it will be something daft. I'd just trace the flow of air from the S/C as it would go through the system and try to look at every thing along the way.
You'll get it.
