Luckily the bolt I stripped connects the turbo to a mounting bracket that I’ve been able to unbolt successfully and is in a place I can reach easily.

So I can either take the turbo out attached to the bracket or I can hacksaw a screwdriver slot into it.

Good news is the place I ordered the new turbo from can get it to me tomorrow.

Bad news is I’m getting married this weekend so unless I want greasy fingernails in our photos I can’t do anything till Monday.

The flange that connects to the downpipe is also slightly different so I can’t use the wrong turbo.

Pittsburgh till they break, then get the Icon

Unless you know you’re gonna use them like a bunch of Torx bits and then you buy the good ones from the start.

Also, semi-pro tip, use wrenches on bits for extra leverage or clearance. Almost got that fucking turbo out thanks to a 15mm box-end.

Ketchup is best when not made with tomatoes.

Mango ketchup on pork chops or blueberry ketchup on duck are both amazing.
