Broken bolt, help

[5spd92]

Alright guys, well a few days ago a bolt holding the turbo to the exhaust manifold broke and part of it is stuck in the turbo. i was able to get the manifold out so i can work on it, well it started off bad and just got worse. We tried to use a reverse bit to get it out, snapped that in there cause it wont budge at all. now i need some advice on how to get it off. Maybe some methods or tricks to try getting it off. any help would be great thanks.

drill and tap a hole in it and put a reverse screw in it. or maybe try again with a screw remover and a torch?

you might be able to take it to a welding shop that has a plasma cutter ......

you could weld it back

Wow, that really sucks! My thought would be the plasma cutter as well because there is no way you are going to be able to drill into that reverse threaded bit unless you get some super-duper drill bit...and I wouldn't know where to get one of those (might want to ask google). Otherwise, it MIGHT just be easiest to replace the head. I know that's not really all that easy, but I know it would work.

its not in the head, it broke in the turbo housing. tried the reverse bit remover thats what broke and theres no way to get it out. ill try heating it first then another reverse bit. if not ill probably drill it all out and rethread it again then find a new bolt and redrill the manifold hole.

we get those all the time from vw/audi and volvo housings. you need a die grinder with small carbide bits and grind them out. you'll probably go through 2-3 bits.

The coolest part about tempered bits like easy outs and screw removers is the metal seems to liquefy much faster the harder or higher grade it is, I broke a grade 8 bolt off in the knuckle of my truck and after I drilled a hole all the way through, I broke the easy out off in it, and it pretty much fill the hole, couple quick passes with a cutting torch and the only thing that melted was the easy out! I suppose every scenario is different but this has worked every time for me, so at least you have a small hole to work with again. Heat and Cold are the strongest tools you'll ever have!

once you get the easy out, out, drill your whole, then tap.
grab the bolt for the tap and use loctite (red) on that bolt.
insert into tapped whole and let sit.
then remove the bolt, hopefully your original bolt comes out.
