Need help: PSM off ABS Failure rough idle, car died

So about an hour ago I'm idling along in traffic, and all of a sudden the car says PSM off, ABS failure drive to nearest shop.... the car starts idling really rough, fluctuating between 500 and 1500 rpms, clutch in or out same thing, after about 6-8 cycles of going from 500 to 1500rpm it died. It restarted and all the lights were out again and seemed to drive ok, idle still fluctuating big time, i drove it home but noticed boost wouldn't go above .2

Any thoughts ideas?

Happened to anybody else?

Check your boost hoses in engine bay and the lower IC pipes. Sounds like one popped off.

well without codes listed, we are guessing. Likely a leak as mentioned above, could be MAF...better to get the codes read.

same thing happened to me; it was a busted throttle body; but without the codes you would just be guessing
