Some stripped out bolts am i screwed?
Well i am getting everythign together and was planning on putting the tiny t3 on my b18b on wed.. I was clocking the compressor and went to put it back together and 2 of the holes where i bolt on the internal wastegate were stripped out... the bolts hold good enough to keep the wastegate on but not really that tight... is this going to be ok or do i need to fix this, and how would you guys go about doing this? thanks!

i would tap it out and use larger bolts. or helicoil to use the regular size bolt.

Just drill it out an retap it. Helicoil is expensive so if you got money then I would go with the helicoil, i always do. Helicoil is also always stronger then the hole that was originally there.
