turboDA6

i ------ hate to do it but being a first time welder started to show and then everything backfired..... only being boosted for about 3 weeks my entire manifold ------ cracked, the whole T3 flange separated from the manifold and i heard a loud rumble while going down the freeway... kept driving cuz i wanted to get home then half way there pshhhh smoke everywhere... i pull over and notice the turbo hangin loose.... i look at my down pipe and its drenched with oil... i look at the compresor side and its full of oil also... pull off the intercooler pipe off the compresor side and the whole compresor is filled with oil... since it fell off it wasn't spinning the turbine thus not flowing the oil till PSHHH to late.... back to n/a for like a week... got new mani comin in next week and new turbo hopefully end of next week. ill keep u guys updated... pics of damages soon.
