thank god it was in front of my work warming up where a fire extinguisher was. But the power wire for my alternator melted my oil feed line to the turbo and pretty much oil when up in a blaze. Luckily I was able to re wire the harness with one i had out of my rolling chassis. Free fix for the win!

lol thats the same thing that happened to mine, except the oil line slipped off the turbo and the wastegate (no dump tube) started the oil on fire.

not the oil drain, it was the feed line it runs right by the wiring from the filter housing.
