Exploding mechanical headgaskets

Update:

I ordered a FelPro head gasket and recieved a made in Germany Goetze head gasket wrapped in a Federal Mogal package inside a FelPro package.  :lol:   but still will be a little bit before she's running again.

Turbo shaft broke between the turbine bearing and the turbine wheel.  Called GPopShop and they have never seen a T3 shaft break there.   :?   guess I am an overacheiver  :oops:  :roll:  They have seen when water gets in the oil gauling the shaft, lock up, then breaking, but the shaft and compresor wheel rotate just fine.  They also said if it was put together wrong at 20psi it would have shown the problem imediately and they have seen cobbled together junk turbo's go for miles and miles.

How does one remove Damian from the engine bay of a car????
