Smile 8.3C Blown Turbo Gasket

Coming up from southern Ga yesterday I blew a Turbo gasket going up Mt Eagle. Severe loss of power near the top and no Pac Brake going down. Bummer as I had this Engine worked on in August. Limped home to Indy @ 60 mph. Am I going to call the shop that did the work and give them an ear full. I found one stud missing and one nut gone off the Turbo Flange. One more part I need to carry on board I guess.

You picked a good stretch to blow a gasket. I'm familiar with Mt. Eagle and that's no fun especially heading north.

Kind of white knuckled it driving down the back side heading north, lucky for me I increased the drag on my trailer brakes.
