Default turbo exhaust outlet

I got a little problem with my exhaust outlet. I broke off one of my bolts and i cant get it out of the turbo. Will the exhaust hold fine if I just use 3 of the 4 bolts? Should I use jb weld to help hold it in?

Try using some high temp RTV gasket too in case there is a small gap where there isn't a bolt.

What kind of bolts were you using? Use stronger ones next time.

There was studs in the turbo that I was trying to take out. Apperantly one was in there too tight and i snaped it. I did try a screw extractor but i just broke that in there. Thanx for the help.

Grind and drill until that thing is out. Never give up and resort to a bandaid fix.

3 bolts will probably leak, and you can't use JB weld or RTV because the temps are too high. Just drill it, tap it, and be done with it. Fix it right the first time instead of wasting way more time on some ghetto fix.

JB weld deff wont hold. RTV might, but its chancy. keep trying at getting the bolt out. worse to worse take it to a machine shop.
