What do I do with a stripped turbo oil line bolt hole in cylinder head?

It's the thin metal oil line that screws into the passenger side of the head right above the t-stat housing. Is a heli-coil my only hope? What a joke, I just got the headgasket fixed too!! :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown

Get a slightly longer bolt and plug it and feed the oil from the oil filter housing.

If I were to do that, wouldn't I have to order a oil line from RRE to fix it? It would be quicker to heli-coil it. Can I buy a oil line from a local shop already assembled that will bolt from the turbo to the oil filter housing? I have no clue what kind of fittings I'll need.

My friend and I just bought a tap and re tapped his after we stripped it. works just fine now.

Thanks, after doing a search, I decided to get some tough hose and run it to the other port on the head.
