If your air passage was clogged and the computer did nothing to adjust for the condition, you'd have a rich mixture due to the air loss. The engine would probably die though...if it was clogged bad. If the turbo is red after a drive, this would mean most likely a leaner condition. Due to more air and less fuel in the mixture. Making it run hot. Lean is a condition you want to be careful with due to things starting to break at higher temps.(this being when "your engine blows up") Why do you think DSM's get such crappy mileage. Because Mits makes the ECU dump fuel like it is no ones business when on boost to keep things cool and under control. This is where a AFC, Reflash, chip or whatever form of engine management comes into play with making more HP. Leaning the factory mixture.
