I gotta take the turbo off my gf's shadow. The mitsu turbo is held together with a vband clamp between the center and the exhaust side... the bolt for the clamp is rusted away and the clamp is well, no longer clamping.

The turbo is on the backside of the motor, jammed between the engine and firewall...
