    Front turbo

    The bolt that holds the front pipe onto my turbo has just snapped off, and I strongly suspect this renders the turbo useless.

    Does anyone have one in good condition?

    I've had a look and it still seems to have the bit where it seals with the o-ring, but to get it repaired properly I'm going to have to remove the turbo anyway.

    Might take a look up there Richard, thanks.

    Managed to fix it for the moment with cable ties and replacing the missing bolt from the y-pipe.
