With the bolt in there, does it leak? If not, then I wouldnt even worry about it....

i dont know if it would. im guessing it would. i havent installed the turbo yet. i was just porting the hell out the turbine housing and i noticed it. i jb welded it and threw some silicone on on the bolt and threads. im hoping it will work.
 
i second that, it wont leak, i've seen dozens of turbo's like this. some w/ bolt holes from wastegate mounting brakets. if you use the right threaded bolt it wont be a problem.

I removed the bolt and put some teflon sealant on it and reinstalled the bolt, no more leak.
Exactly what I was going to suggest.
 
If the housing is brand new, I would be contacting PTE and requesting a replacement if at all possible. PTE does have an employee who is a frequent around here. If you would like his user ID you can PM me and I will send it to you.
 
Ya thats how most garett covers are just a little teflon tape will be fine.
