Sup guys, I am just doing some basic things, you know keeping it up and running. I was taking off the down pipe though because there was only one bolt holding it in there.. and the back colt (star kit) broke in there!!! Also the front one had broken in there earlier. IM PISSED !!! so what now? buy those bits that drill into it and back em out?

Also , my radiator is near gone... my fan litteraly melted...The starter looks like its next. What do you guys recommend i do? Oh and how do I plug up a hole I made in the down pipe for an EGT probe? I decided to move it to the manifold. Ill take pics of everything.

You can just take a hose clamp and clamp it over the hole in the DP, it should seal up. As for your other problems I have no idea, but sounds like you need to do something quick.

Drill it out. You can re-tap the turbine very easily - i've done i more than a few times.

Just buy a broken bolt removal kit (dont know what its actually called). You drill a small hole in the broken bolt, tap it with the supplied removal tap that has a rear tip that can be turned with a wrench. Turn the broken bolt back out with a wrench. works great and doesn't destroy the threads (of course the threads may be gone already causing the broken bolts). The Star downpipe is really sensitive to alignment when it comes to screwing/removing the bolts. I used to always had another person hold/align it while I screwed the bolts in.

As for the Radiator, dont know about that one. melted many a wires. Shorted many a wires. Cracked/hardened many a wastegate hose all thanks to turbo heat but never damaged any part of the radiator. That must be some kind of hot.
