Default hmm seems like i had a exhaust leak

So about 5 months ago i was driving quite fast down this really bumpy and twisty road.it was actually sort of a mission to get to the top of the highest mountain before the sun came up... anyways so i got to the top let the turbo cool down for like 20 secs then turn the car up and start the run to the top of the mountain with my 2 friends. so i end up coming down about an hour later start up my car and my car sounds horrible. really loud, stinky, and the turbo was screaming at me, so i was thinking **** i didnt let turbo cool down for long enough and i killed it. so i end up driving home very slow being sure not to boost at all and then i parked it for 5 months because i was so discouraged. Yesterday I started it up and took a look a round and this is what i found (see picture) all 4 of those were so loose i could move them with my hand. Im not too sure how this happend because i tightend the hell out of these bolts when i put the new turbo on. anyway so i tightend them back up and the car is running great now

First off I just got to say 2 big thumbs up on the look of your ride. It's my favorite color!! Second of all I'd say put some locktite on them rascals! I'd hate to see something so nice get ruined.[8D]
