Hey folks turbo problem query
Hey
Just looking for a bit of advice please.
I have just bought a turbo and one of the threads that bolt on the up pipe have lost its threads.
Is there any way I can sort this to have three threads working for a tight fit
Thanks

You don't say if it's a male or female thread.
If you take it to your local engine machine shop they should be able to either fit a Heli-Coil thread insert if it's a female thread, or if it's a damaged stud, drill it out and re-tap the hole for a new stud.
If you have any mates that are machine maintenance fitters or toolmakers this will be an easy job for them to do for you.
