The top j pipe hole on the compressor housing orginally got stripped I took it to my usual machine shop, always have had good results, so he installed a Helicoil the same thread size it was orginally, I just got my turbo back from rebuild and installed it and I developed a boost leak at around 10 mins into the drive and got home to find the j pipe bolt was loose and I was able to pull it out and some of the coil came with it.
So some of it is still in there, also did the heat just cause the coil to get brittle? Any ideas besides taking out my turbo again and swapping a new compressor housing
 
Well the holed already been made bigger cause of the Helicoil hopefully retaping works just unsure on the size because I have no idea what size the hole is now
