Wastegate bolt blew off...
Well I was boosting the other day and when I slowed down I noticed my wastegate making a lot more noise. Later when I popped my hood I noticed one of the bolts that holds the wastegate to the manifold were gone. 
I hope I can just replace the bolt and its not stripped as it came out.

I just checked and low and behold the bolt was hidden on the ac compressor. I just torque that SOB back on...teach him to come loose! Hehe. Thanks bro.

I've got a better story...
The four studs holding the turbo onto the manifold?
Yeah, all FOUR blew off. The turbo was just chillin on the DP, making damned near 0 boost. I'd never had my car on open headers, but by God was it loud!
