Default Strange "wind-like" noise, no turbo pressure, loss of power

On my 2015 TTS AC stopped working. Took care in for service, was told there was a leak in one of AC hose fittings. Got car back with ice cold AC. So far so good.

Then I noticed few strange things. Under acceleration - there was a wind-like noise coming from the rear. After further investigation I noticed loss of power and no turbo boost (meter never goes above 1-2psi). I spoke to service advisor on the phone and he told me it is likely turbo hose did not get connected (or came off). This makes sense as far as symptoms go.

I am about to take the car in but here is what bothers me - if the hose connecting turbo to intake is not connecting - engine is sucking in air that has not been filtered. I've put less than 100 miles on the car since this happened.

Should I be concerned? Is there anything dealer/myself can do to see if there was any damage done as a result of this (e.g. compression test, oil analysis)?

Thank you

Asked the dealer whether or not PIWIS able to evaluate engine compression.
