I'm glad it's the exhaust side!!

That spinning thing that makes all of the cool noises. OE and Aftermarket.

I pulled my DP off and found that part of the exhaust wheel nut/shaft broke off? I have never seen anything like this. The turbo doesn't have any shaft play and seems to spin fine.

that uneven load can't be good for it at 100,000 rpm, though.

Yeah, it may be pretty centered, but I wouldn't expect that turbo to live with the resulting imbalance too long depending on your driving.

Mark,
It's on the Leg. The turbo won't be on the car for long anyway. Plus the break is near the center so I should have some time before the whole assembly is fubar.
