We are actually headed to the dealer today to get some replacement parts. Does anyone here have a stock turbo inlet hose for sale? If not does anyone have an aftermarket one?
It'll help to find out EXACTLY what code is thrown. If it's a 300, then there is likely a common cause making the engine "random" misfire. If it's a 30X (123 or 4) then you can look into fuel injectors/coils/plugs/compression for that particular cylinder. The blinking CEL means "catalyst damage possible", i.e. too much fuel being unburnt going through the cat., from a misfire. [Just in case you didn't know why it blinks...]
