i was driving home yesterday on the highway when all of the sudden my car just went rediculously loud (in a bad way) and sounded gross, i got home and looked that my o2 housing had came off the back of my turbo with only 2 studs (no bolts) just holding my exhaust still kind of in place, but there was about a half inch gap between which was where all the exhaust was coming out. so i went to try and put a new bolt in, then found out all the bolts except one were snapped off inside the back of my turbo… what the hell do i do now? ☹

Studs snapped off inside? pull of your turbo, take it to someone with a drill press and drill it out… if the threads are damaged put in a helicoil…

Take it off, get it fixed, put back together making sure the turbo oil lines and coolant lines are bleed is the bad way to say it I guess? just make sure the turbo has got oil before you start it up
