you should find one of those rings relatively easy, and replace with a new bolt. Have the old bolt extracted. its not going to really affect anything at this point.

Precision will replace the turbo for free even though it's the users fault?

Re: Is this a BIG deal? (mike1114)
As 99% of turbos have to be clocked to make them fit right, they technically wouldn't have to replace it if the user over-torqued a fastener. It would be like ARP giving you new headstuds every time you try reusing the studs you torqued to 105lb/ft [and stretched way beyond specs].
Chances are its just the bolt that snaped. Unless they use a different chra style, its ~1/8" wide mating surface around the chra, both sides cast iron, and its hard to deform that much material. The cracked ring is kinda odd, but seeing as how 2 bolts always have a split beneith them, I don't see it being a big issue.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. There are enough other bolts holding it in place.
If you are really paranoid then you could take the turbo off, remove the old bolt, and put a fresh one in there, but that would be a lot of work for no real benefit.

It's a single piece. It's not connected to the entire turbocharger. I have seen people overtorque these many times

Nor would I. Torque it down. You will be fine. If you really want to replace it call up Precision
