Turbo rarely fail abruptly like that...

That sounds like what mine did when the intercooler hose popped off.

now say perhaps you're driving along on a rather hot day. not pushing your car very hard at all when you feel/hear something pop, make a pfffffftt noise, and then everything seams to be fine, but the car will not idle. when you reattach the tube that was found to be disconnected at what i believe is the "bypass air control valve" the car idle's again. but at a lower rmp. around 500 from an origional 750. dos this sound like a blown turbo? and if so. what's involved in replacement/repair. i have another t2 engine sitting in my garage. so if a partial swap between the two rather than a total rebuild is possible, that would be great.
please tell me anything else that could be wrong.
IF it is idling at 500, it ain't blown... Blown motors won't idle down to 750 smoothly.

And a good way to check if it's blown is a COMPRESSION CHECK... If you have a tester handy, or a friend you can borrow from, do that... Just to be sure... But yea, doesn't sound blown...
