Default wtf...what could possibly cause this?

I posted a few days ago on lengths and sizes of the turbo mounting bolts...the reason being is that i looked under the car and they seemed to be missing. I was confused as to how the long one even got out because of the cross member. When i went to put the new bolts in i realized they were both in there but broken off about half way for each.

Also my tensioner for the AC compressor was broken. What would cause this and more importantly... ideas?

no sir, lol my exhaust broke, in half right behind the car. My fault bad weld, hard to weld under a car and try to get it straight and such. Anyway the exhaust hanger went with it so the cat, downpipe and such were hanging on the turbo, so the force finally pulled the turbo down hard enough to break the 2 bolts. That is my theory. The broken tensioner is unrelated i believe
