So, being an idiot, I attempted to "snug" up the oil drain tube to stop a small oil leak after the install of my 16g. well, I busted a bolt off in the bottom of the turbo.
I need to get a helicoil kit and fix it, pronto. am I looking for a 6mm kit? I assume its the same thread pitch as the valve cover bolts...
6mm x 1? I can go to home depot and check I guess. but I dont have a day off till monday. Just wondering if anyone knows.
thanks guys.

I'm not familiar with helicoils, but are you asking about getting the rest of the bolt out of the turbo? Just use a counter-sync.

I tried an easy out... didnt budge it for some reason. I have it soaking with PB blaster and will give it a shot again... I ordered a helicoil kit last night, after hours of searching on various forums.
M6 x 1 if anyone else is interested in thread size and pitch.
