[MR2] Another turbo question

[Aaron Bunch]

That clamp holds the bearing housing to the exhaust
housing. You did the right thing tightening it up. If
it felt barely loose then you probably don't have any
other problems.

It probably just got loose from years of heat causing
expansion and contraction.
