I feel like I'm going to be having everybody on this site helping me out by the time I'm done installing such a simple turbo. But okay, my next dilema...

My oil drain bolt is stripped!!!! I could get a little use outta my wrench but then it completely stripped so the wrench just turns in circles now. So I started using my vice grip wrench on it, and it's still not coming off (and last night I let it soak with PB Blaster and I also put some more on today). So I dunno. Any suggestions? Any chance I could just forget about the drain and put the oil pan under the oil return tube and catch the oil as it comes outta there and just have an oil change shop do their thing on it? PLEASE say that'll work!!! Cause that's pretty much the only thing holding me back right now.

My second thing, although as of right now I don't think it's a huge deal, my bolts that connect my o2 housing to the downpipe just arn't coming loose. I'm really not too worried about it, I'm just going to let them soak in PB for the next couple days and keep re-applying some of it, but hopefully I'll get them.

Besides those two things, I'm pretty much all set. Coolant's drained, mani to engine bolts are loosened and ready to be removed, alll pipes are outta the way, condensor fan out otta there, all that good stuff. Any advice would be really appreciative. Thanks yall.

youre ###### going to have to tkae the turbo off with the drain line on it and have it taken to a shop where they can drill the bolt out for you and have the rethread the hole so you can put a new bolt in, and when selecting bolts, get nice stainless steel ones. Just use the other bolt as an example and go to home depot,ace, menards and they have like a sample pallet where you can match up the threads, most likely its something along the lines of m8 x 1.25
