HELP with turbo install
mechanical question: I'm trying to piece my turbo together but I ran into this.. The turbo has four double-sided automotive studs. I can't figure out a way to bolt it on to my manifold. My manifold is a t3 so I had to use an adapter but the holes on the adapter is threaded..
I've thought about drilling the holes to make them clear but the adapter doesnt allow enough space since the bolts that attach to the adapter to the manifold is in the way.
ANY thoughts will be appreciated! thank you for reading!

If the double nut setup doesn't work, another thing you can do is weld on a nut (if you're unable to thread 2 nuts onto the stripped stud). Weld it on real good. Now you should be able to remove the stripped stud (make sure you spray freeze off/wd-40) where it's threaded onto the turbo.
This worked for me on a T25.
You can use a wire welder from Harbor Freight (cost <$100) and has millions of uses.
