New one on me. I haven't heard of this issue yet and I've been through these forums and others MANY times for the past year.

Most generally, the bolt I've found loose, or missing is the 10 mm head one on the passenger side of the turbo.

I just found this past weekend that 2 bolts on the air intake side of the turbo had completely fallen out. A third bolt was 3/4 of the way out. The bolts were at 10 o'clock, 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. I could see that the o-ring had been blown out. I loosened the bottom 3 bolts slightly, split the case a bit and pushed the o-ring back in as a temp fix. Is this o-ring available? I found the missing 2 bolts on the bottom of the valley pan. They looked like they were there for some time. I am back to having boost again, but do need to replace the case o-ring if possible.
