Default Turbo disconnected from exhaust system..

Today I just got my turbo replaced with a Bogner k03.. excellent piece of work. i was test driving it and all of a sudden the car sounded like a Mack Truck. I pulled over and found that where the turbo is connected to the exhaust system by a flange, the bolts are tight on the flange but the exhaust tube is somewhat loose.. as if it should be in the flange of course. With my luck, my garage closed and will not open til monday. Any suggestions? Can I just push it back in the flange or is there a clamp or something?

Thanks

sounds like your flange broke off the cat, its somewhat common on b5's. If its a nice clean break, you can have it welded back on. But otherwise you should get in contact with Labree in cali... they are the cheapest people to buy cats from, they look good and add a lil growl to your whip. A 250 cell should make you happy. same benefits as a testpipe, but you'll actually pass emissions and wont need spacers for the o2's. GL.
