I was trying to take off my turbo to inspect it. While triying to take off one of the bolts into the manifold I SNAPPED IT! I immediately stoped to prevent breaking any futher bolts. my question is, is it ok to run the car with just the tree bolts until I can repair this? And how can I repair this?
 
Depending on where it broke, and is it flush or sticking out. It needs to be repaired. An exhaust leak is an exhaust leak. There's several procedures that are available to remove it. Anything from vise grips to bolt extractors to the old drill and tap method with a helicoil. Depends on the severity of how stuck the bolt is in the head.

Good Luck
 
It snapped by the threads. I have every intention of fixing it I just wanted to make sure it was safe for now. yeah its gonna be a pain. Unfortunately I have a couple of other things on my to-do list before fixing that, like getting my chasis pulled:barf:
