One stripped bolt, turbo to manifold, yikes!

Back again... about the turbo gettin loose, the one bolt must have had the gasket rub on its threads, cuz when I went to back it out, it got real hard, so now im askin, if I get the bolt out, re-drill, and insert the hellicoil in it, will that work? NE one please post with thoughts and ideas or solving matters

same thing happened to me with 2 of my mani bolts, i just drilled it out and hellicoiled it, worked fine for me

2 of my bolts actually broke from my manifold to my 16g. i sent it off to a local auto machine shop to have them drill and retap it. i figured it was better, if they screw it up they are buying me a new one. it was pretty cheap too, like 40 bucks or so.
