small 16g , no threads on top , to hard for nuts and bolts

[tsi4g63dohc]

yell if you must, i did search , i got a small evo 16g , well theres no threads for the manifold to turbo bolts to tighten on to , so i went to lowes and got some bolts and nuts but then its almost in possible for the nuts to tighten because there in akward places and the turbo isnt flat on the underside..... what do i do ? i have a pair of tubular headers i wanted to use but the holes are so tiny to get bolt threw ### then the top of it touches the tubes >....

while local's are reading does anyone have a 14/16g wastegate actuator for cheap ???

it looks to me as if the holes have been drilled out you can either try to tap it to a bigger size or maybe a helicoil kit will work.

well i ended up drilling the header holes in angles to drop bolts threw there and nutted the turbo while everything was off the car
