i'm trying to figure out if he's talking about the 3" tube that goes to the front of the engine compartment or the 3"tube that connects the turbo to the air filter. If it's that tube, it should be fixed ASAP(even if all you do is put duct tape over it as a temp fix) as any little dirt can destroy a turbo in short order.
