HELP!!!!!!!! I'm an IDIOT!!!!!!!!

Hey yeah so I'm retarded and snapped off a bolt in my turbo(exhaust side) trying to install an exhaust mani. Already took the turbo out, split it and tried to drill it out myself with no luck. I was going to take it to a machine shop tommorow. Any ideas before I do this or know how much I might be looking at to pay for this service.

Thanks for the help,

try buying a thing called a ez out. u drill a hole in the broken bolt. then put the ez out on the drill and use it in reverse on the hole u just drilled. might work might not. ohh and use a lot of penetrating oil and let it sit first.

Which bolt did you break? Did you snap it putting it back in or taking it out? If it was putting it back in I would recommend using a torque wrench next time.
