pulling turbos?
in the process of pulling my down pipe i stripped the studs and in getting those out stripped the threads in the actual turbo... any suggestions on pulling turbos to retap the hole ? I have never done it before Any advice would be greatly appreciated

the threads may not be shot but there maybe some thread from the stud left in them either way i can't put another bolt in there and i can't fit a tap or a drill down there

This same thing happened to me. When i took my turbos off on the engine stand all of the studs came out with the nuts.... then the downpipe nuts also proved to be a problematic.
After the seized nuts/studs soaked in PB blaster for a week the nuts came off the studs easily.
One of my downpipe studs was soooo seized that it took half of the threads out with it, luckily i was able to use another stud and double nut it from the other side to 'repair' the threads.. well half of them anyways. I installed the new stud with a lot of red loctite, so hopefully it will last until i go single!
I would either try to retap the original threads as stated above, or just tap a slightly larger thread.
