It sounds to me like you blew an intercooler pipe/coupler off somewhere. Maybe the extra boost helped blow a semi tightened hose clamp off. I've done this before and you cannot drive the car due to it trying to stall out.

Check your intercooler piping from the turbo to the throttle body and make sure everything is connected and tight.
