stripped my wastegate... what to do?
well i stripped the threads on my ssautoshit wastegate (right on the wastegate itself)... just my luck ... 5 of the 6 are still intact, but one is still messed up... you guys think i can just run with 5 of them on or do you recommend re-tapping the one that i stripped. if i re-tap though i run into problems of the head of a bolt to be too big and hit the wastegate....hmmmm... what you guys think?

I just took mine apart and it was a bitch to put back together....it has a blue spring in it that is stiff as ----. had to use my leg to compress the ******...anyone know what spring the blue one is? ( I paid him for a 6psi spring)

yeah i think that's why i stripped the body of the wastegate making me put the hex bolt in at an angle ... i might look into a heli-coil kit... how much do they cost and where can i get them? my dad said we got one, but his *** don't even remember where he put it. :P (by thway i got the one with the 11.6 psi spring supposedly, but it's green and people are saying that's 8.7 psi) oh well... guess i'll make a mbc like i did on my last setup
