I third that. I/C piping always seems to be a bi problem if you don't tighten the bolts tight enough. Check all piping connections, and I am sure you will find it.
80% of the time it's the I/C pipe attached to the intake manifold. that seems to be the most common place of where the piping comes loose.

yep, sounds like intercooler pipe to me. I have a completely stock evo and I had the same thing happen. My upper IC pipe blew off while I was driving. It caused my car to not be able to run at all. Just buck and jolt. Just look for the pipe to be off. hopefully the ring is still on. If it is, just tighten it down. Mine kept blowing off until I finally tightened it down with a drill.
