I'm a month late, but...

That looks like a broken turbine housing clamp. Did one of those on a buddy's LBZ. You can sneak the old one out and new one in without removing the turbo. Now where to find a new one I don't know. I happened to have a core turbo sitting on a bench and grabbed the clamp off it.
