Firstly, thanks to all that commented regarding radiator sources.  Upon 
further examination of my car I have found that my front exhaust pipe has a 
large crack.  This is the pipe that goes from the Turbo to the wastegate and 
on to the front of the CAT.
My concern is R&R of this - our own Chris Semple can get me one but I was 
hoping for some feedback regarding disconnection from the wastgate and 
turbo.  Am I going to ruin anything (i.e. breaking bolts) trying to get this 
out?  Unhooking from the cat will be no problem.
I plan to replace the hot side motor mount, O2 sensor and tie rod on that 
side when I do this.  Anything else that should be considered?

Thanks again!!!!
Randy...
