I then refer to "hot pipes" as the exhaust piping. I'll agree this could be confusing to some of you since the majority of you run manifolds with a flange and a turbo bolted up. However, those of us with a V6 or V8 that run a typical single turbo setup cannot do this (at least not if we want all cylinders to be pushing the turbo).
I'll try to remember your different terminology as to not confuse people next time.

Re: blown turbo
no shaft play is a good sign.
does the impeller spin freely?
A picture of your setup would be nice.
You know what happened to me once?
I had a K&N air filter in front of the turbo, installed on a straight piece of pipe. Well the clamp was not tight enough and the filter "walked" on the tube so the tube went all the way in the filter. THe tube was touching the bottom of the filter almost tightly, preventing the air to go in!!! It was idling ok but never boosting of course!!! It took me 2 weeks to find out!!! I was about to go nuts looking for leaks and worrying about the turbo and engine.....
