I'm running a SR T25 bottom mounted. I had a exhaust leak, one stud was missing and two were loose. So, I tighten them up as much as I can. I got new studs, nuts and elbow. I was going to install them after finals, but.... Last night when I was coming home from class, I get no boost, smell gas, and hear loud exhaust noise. Today when I look at it, the turbo was separated from the manifold. I tried taking it apart. I can't get the oil line off and the studs are broken and stuck in the manifold. I missed class today, got a review tomorrow and final exam on Thursday, got to work on the weekend, and this is my daily driver. I have no money to get it towed and fixed by a mechanic. If someone near stony brook, NY can come by and help that would be great. Hit me at waqas.v.iqbal[at]gmail.com or call me at 917-412-9273. I'll buy u lunch or dinner.

I'm trying to DIY, but I'm limited due to tools, experience, and I'm living off campus. just replace the [at] with @.
