My exhaust started blowing and it turned out to be loose bolts on the drivers side turbo elbow on the turbo side

Anyway after much swearing and blood I noticed there wasn't a bolt on the top side closest to the engine so I thought

I would borrow one out of my old engine only to find that bolt was missing out of the same place is this a common thing , seems strange to have two engines with the same bolt missing

u may find its been snapped but i would say its strange to be missing

Well my drivers side turbo had a snapped one stuck in it which I discovered when trying to change the exhaust last week, serious efforts required to remove the bugger. With the constant heating and cooling, they become increadibly hard.

Neither one was snapped as I took another one out of my spare engine and tried it in both holes
