aaahhhh mate that looks bad!!!!! p.s did you get the nuts/bolts off from the turbo ok :)

Yes and know, they all came out but 2 the threads were ****ed so had to replace them

Stitches come out Sunday, have had to borrow my bro inlaws Fat toe (FTO) as its n auto to get about, probably should be driving with one hand but being stuck indoors is killing me. Yesterday was humiliating, was baby sat by my mates missus, as my wife was called into work on her day off which ment i had my boy for the day, cant look after myself let alone a 2 year old as well! So my mates g/f spent her day off looking after us, it was horrible felt usless all day, she didnt mind but you could tell she would of rather been doing something else.
