Front rotor took a dump. After careful inspection the front rotor broke 1 apex seal and the other 2 are stuck in the apex seal grove. I am not sure that the turbo is going back in but I will keep all updated on the project.

The worst part about getting it out was the motor mounts. The bolts were sooooo tight I wacked myself in the face with a breaker bar and now I have a shitty scare on my sexy face LOLOLOLOL
