Thread on the turbo compressor housing came off!

How can I get this fixed? I took apart my turbo(Borg Warner S200) and the compressor housing threads just came out with the bolt.

Ahh, I see, well, just find out the thread pitch and size for the bolts and get a tap for it, run it through and see if you can fix it that way, if not, you'll have to go one size bigger, drill and tap it, then use the bigger bolt for that one.

The bolts are 13mm. Where can I get it drilled and retap?

you can do it yourself if you want to, otherwise any machine shop should be able to do it up for ya.

i would look into helicoils if i were you, then you can keep the same bolts and such.
