turbo bolt

...one of the bolts that connects the turbo to my downpipe flew off on Sunday. at least I think it did. plus i have to drive to socal today...

i just hope nothing happens, cuz I really need to get back. i guess all i can do is avoid it spooling as much as possilble. I've been driving around for a few days already and everything has been fine....

i hope my car pulls through

The worst thing that would happen if you didn't get the bolt on would be some MAJOR noise. That and some stinky exhaust from under the hood. Trust me, loosing bolts from the back of the turbo leads to a NOISY NOISY situation... that's all though. Glad you found a replacement.
