How much trouble am i in?

So I'm replacing my twins. I couldn't get the metal pipe that attaches to the turbos off so I left it on the car. In the process of all this, I bet the metal piece that connects to the metal pipe above the turbos. My question is how bad is this, and what Can I do to fix it?
Thanks

If this is what your talking about I believe that's the oil feed to the turbos which is a problem if its pinched.

Probably find a used oil feed line and replace it, or make a small AN line yourself.

The 3rd gen guys will probably know better, I have a 2nd gen and they use the same oil feed line for the stock turbo.

Or simply order a new one from Ray @ Malloy Mazda. Mention you are from the club.

OP, in the future please title your threads accordingly. It helps members with the same issues search.
