You're screwed.

jk. You can either block it off somehow and get a ss feedline kit and run it off the oil filter housing. Or you can try to re-tap the hole or possibly heli-coil it depending on how bad it is.

yes but i need some guidence, are there any websites i can go to so i could see a heli-coil kit? what about that ss feed line, do i need to take off the turbo for that????

It might be tricky to get a tool on the top oil fitting with the turbocharger in place but you should be able to do it. Running the SS feed line over to the oil filter housing will be a snap.

Yeah but getting the 3/8 npt plug out of the oil folter housing wont be.
