nipples on front turbo popped out...

I dont know if this is stock or not... I was going down the road at 10 psi and all of a sudden I hear a whoosh and it hits 20 psi and I let off right away. I pulled over and checked it out. The nipple that holds the lines that go to the wastegate actuators popped out. I dont know how in the hell this thing is supposed to stay in the turbo.... Has this happened to anyone else? Im mega confused.

Yes on the pri turbo only. Garfinkle pulled his by twisting and pulling. He threaded the hole and put a bolt in it to close it. He drilled a hole in the firewall side of the uim and pressed the f shaped fitting in the hole with epoxy . All of his vacuum lines are hidden from view, to clean .
