Losing boost, still drives, just low on power. 3 hours from home. Will I damage it driving it, keeping it off boost?

If you could patch it somehow, it would be better

But drive it at as low a throttle and rpm as possible.

What car actually is it anyway ? other than a risk of overspeeding the turbo, it shouldnt do any real harm.

Back on the right side of the channel now! Peugeot Expert van, 1.9hdi.
Had it off and cleaned it up. Petrol station "black cloth tape" seems to be holding up. Drives like normal. ETA home, 2.30 pending further setbacks.
