Turbo Problem Please Help
So I decided to install my new efini Y pipe today, and just as I am bolting it in, on the last turn of the bolt, it snaps and is now flush with the turbo. I tried using an easy out but that broke in it also. My last option now seems to be to take out the turbos and get it to a machine shop to drill out the hole (my drill bits slide around the easy out). Any reccomendations/suggestions? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you.

No need to take the twins off. If you can't take the broken stud out, just drill through the entire stud and use a bolt/washer--- lock washer/nut combo with OEM metal gasket to tighten the flange. It should work fine.
AMENDMENT:
My method only applies to the Secondary Turbo "inside" (top) stud.

I already took the stud out, and used a bolt and washer, which I am guessing bottomed out and then broke and is now flush with the top of the hole, and then I used an easy out to try and free that but it broke, which means I can no longer drill through it (too hard of a metal). So I am left with taking the entire turbo assembly out and then bringing it to a machine shop to have them put it in a drill press to get it out.
