Thanks guys, I appreciate the concern about damaging the turbo, I certainly don't want to do that. However I thought since the welding is happening on the Wastegate pipe, isn't pressure pushing out towards the wastegate and away from the turbo?

We're going to reweld the broken support bracket (top picture) tonight then look at pulling the headers after the weekend. These cracks didn't happen over night so i'm sure if I can just get the support bracket reconnected the cracks wont get anyworse and should be fine thru the weekend. It doesn't look like there is exhaust coming thru those cracks, wouldn't there be black carbon around the cracks? My car runs a little rich.
