Yep had the similar issues. First time it fell off since the bolts became loose and started hearing a rattle in the engine bay. Though i blew something in the engine but then saw it just sitting there.

Recently, when checking the oil and making sure those bolts were holding up, saw the dump tube cracked 3/4ths of the way. So I took to a muffler shop and they welded it back togheter. So far so good.

LJ is a great vendor and they stand behind their stuff. Been to his shop twice, and they have always tried to take care of me, and all their customers.

Whoa. Glad you're okay and the car didn't catch fire. Didn't realize gases were hot enough to burn wires.

Exhaust gas from wastegate can be upwards of 800-1200 degrees lol. And it was blowing right onto the harness!

Really strange, never seen two welds go at the same time. Probably soft engine mounts and hitting somewhere?
