Any tdo5 turbo will attach to that hot side. Did this happen from over tightening the bolts or just while driving? Most of those cheap headers put the turbo in a slightly different location which causes the line to have pressure on it. That is also an ebay turbo, i would quit buying the cheap parts and you will have less problems in the long run.

yeah I paid 200 for that turbo never even ran it i got scammed and told it was a rebuilt turbo with Garrett parts i bolted it up and the bolt kept spinning so i used a slightly bigger bolt and it broke off fml right...

Weld the bolt up and twist it out with vice grips

Definitely leave appropriate feedback if it came from here- doesn't look like that turbo was ever rebuilt to me, and if it was then it wasn't done properly. For less than what you paid you could have bought a new eBay 16G WITH all of the installation accessories.

I'm willing to bet the bolts you were using were too long- they only go up into the housing about 15mm or so. It probably bottomed out and you kept cranking.

A center punch and a left-handed 1/8" bit should be all you need to get that out of there.
