a little issue with my turbo help me out please!!!
well i took my pipes off and compreoor housing off to clean cuz there was crap inside (ran no filter and just a screen for like 2 months)
well i was putting everything back together and everything was going good not problems
then i ws putting on my compressor housing last... got it on the turbo and all, put those brackets back on and i hand tightened all of the bolts to make sure i dont strip them...
everything was going down smooth... got a wrech and started to tighten them all down slowly
well i got all of them tight on one bracket... but the other bracket the middle one is just hand tight but the others are real tight
it was going down and tightening up then suddenly it got loose again... i already knew what happened... so i took it out and i can see the threads on the bolt from what the turbo left behind...
so now it just spins and doesnt tighten.... is there a way i can fix this or just leave it like that... is the compressor sealed enough... being that its the middle one and the rest are tight

yeah i figured it would be ok seeing that all the rest are tight and its the middle one so the ones around it should be holdin it down...
i haven driven it yet to see if itll boost all the way up...
i was just concerned since i just got done putting it back together

Re: a little issue with my turbo help me out please!!! (booja)
just heli-coil it and forget about it, i mean why do a hack job when heli-coils are cheap and easy to do
