The failure occured in Spain, he has swapped the turbo since and was at a rolling road day I attended yesterday.

I'm going to ask for more pics though as christ knows what the bay must of looked like as thats punched a hole in the compressor housing and inner wing and potentially the airbox as that must of been in the way as well !

Epic failure
