!!Bolt Broke Inside Turbo!!! D:
OMG things are not going my way lately, problem after problem. How in the world can I fix this????
The reason it broke was because the bolt I guess was in kind of crooked and wouldnt budge. I had to take it off the car and try......then *snap*
BTW are my turbine fins supposed to have white powderish coat on it?

just use a drill and first drill a lil hole in it and then reverse it pushing hard against the broken bolt. should come out.

You can buy a tool to remove it or just take it to any respectable auto shop and they'll have the tools to take it out for you. Looks like there is still a little thread sticking out of the hole, grab a dremel tool and make a straight groove in the top of the bolt and try to take it out with a flat head screwdriver.

Re: !!Bolt Broke Inside Turbo!!! D: (intekragsr)
Dang, I snapped off a bolt int he exact hole on my T3 turbine. I drilled a pilot hole and used an extractor to back it out. The first extractor I used was too small and i ended up snapping that off too. Then I stepped up to the next larger one, and i ended up buckling my small tap handle, so I switched to my T-handle tap handle and it eventually came out. Since I didn't ever want to deal with that again, I put studs in my turbine. I used the intake manifold studs that got swapped out for longer ones for my Hondata IM gasket install. They work perfectly.

Re: !!Bolt Broke Inside Turbo!!! D: (inspyral)
good idea inspyral, so the intake manifold studs fit perfectly in a t3 turbine? Whats the size on that?

The thread on the manifold side of the studs is 8x1.25 I believe, the exact same thread as the T3 turbine outlet. Then you just use exhaust manifold nuts to go with the studs. I'm not sure if there's a difference between intake and exhaust manifold studs/nuts, but they do interchange.

the white powder stuff on the turbine is due to the heat. the turbine glows hottt red and after cool it leaves white powder.

Re: !!Bolt Broke Inside Turbo!!! D: (intekragsr)
well it broke because a socket couldnt take it out, and snapped it. I really doubt my hand strength with a screwdriver
Thanks for the replies guys...

When that happened to me, I took it to a machine shop and they just quickly welded a nut to the end of it and just unscrewed it right out. No charge.

looks like you galled the bolt. an ez-out may not work. if it doesnt, get out the drill and use a bit that's slightly smaller than the hole's diameter and drill it out. then grap that handy dandy tap and die set and use a tap to chase the threads, removing the remnants of the bolt and recovering the original threads.

reverse drill bit will probably work. when i installed my header, the bolt on the head broke off just like that. I took it to a shop and they charged me $70 to take it out.

HEAT!!!!!!!!! You will have to heat the turbine housing with a torch once you figure out how you are going to turn the bolt, or what's left of it. Heating around the housing will cause the housing to expand slightly around the bolt and the bolt will be easier to turn.
