Default In desperate need of help!!!

My 2000 1.8T Beetle died on me. I was driving down the street and hit the gas and I heard a "thud/pop" noise from the passenger side of the engine. The car imeadiately began to misfire and shut down. I pulled over and looked under the car and saw that a rubber hose that connects to the turbo charger (about a 3" diameter) had come off and oil was leaking from it. Any idea what's going on? Have I blown my turbo? Anyone can tell me how to replace the turbo? Thanks in advance!!!!!
