from bad to worse!

so finally my helix I/C pipe kit came in. So i already took off the starter down pipe etc. I take off the greddy pipe and sure enough it was leaking. I got to put on the helix kit use seleant the whole 9. I put it the bolts and tighten one and go to tighten the other, but the bolt would just spin with out getting tighter and i was like WTF. as i'm taking out the bolt bit of metal fall out and when the bolt is out metal rings fall out of the hole. I was like ****. I didnt cross thead the bolt i'm sure since i initially tightened it with my fingers and had the right angle with the starter off. So i clean off all the surfces and rethread the hole thinking it was cross threaded nope the threader went it fine. so i try again to hook up the I/C pipe and it goes in but the sam bolt will not tighten down. i took off the bolt and sure enough the whole threads just broke off. I literaly had metal rings fall out of the hole. I tried putting on the bolt with out he pipe and sure enough the bolt would just slide in a barely grab when up top. so i took of the washer and tried to bolt it up with out the washer with the i/c pipe it grabbed but once i began to tighten it the 2 or 3 theads that grabed gave out. So i can either try to rethread the whole to fit a larger bolt and drill out the I/C pipe hole to make it bigger, but thats going to be Pain. all i really need is a compressor side housing. any know where i can get one and for how much?
