Ok so i have posted probably 4 threads on just fixing my turbo. I desided the route im going to go. I drilled all the oem threads out to a 7/16 bolt size. So that means im am not going to helicoil anything. I desided to buy grade 10.9 harded bolts and I am going to cut off the bolt heads to make it a stud. Then i am going to size out exacty how much thread I need to screw the nuts on to then i will weld a new head so the cut off side will not be able to go through. It might sound alittle confusing in writing but the plan is 100% solid and I know it will work. So I will hopefully have the car running by the end of next week :D

P.s; The most bullshit part about all of what im doing is the fact that it took 10-15mins to drill out each hole:ohdamn: but its all drilled now :)

1st Pic is what I using to get everything the way i want it
2nd pic is 3 of the 4 holes drilled out, u can tell by the smaller hole that the bigger new holes are alot cleaner
