The mechanic did a superb job of breaking mostly all of them off down inside the threading. He did try the weld trick but it kept breaking.

That sucks. Replacing the exhaust turbo housing is the only thing i can think of.
I tried finding this as a stand-alone part instead of ordering the entire turbo. Any suggestions there?

Minus wastegate. That was the one i bought some time ago, to have it as a spare.
I guess I’m looking for just the exhaust part, which i hope would be cheaper by itself. Pic of mine

No, you are right. I don't have the part in front of me. On some turbos you can get to it from other side. Sorry, not sure what else can be done.

These guys don’t seem to have the right equipment. Titanium coated drill bits are snake oil Home Depot drill bits.
Might be best to take the turbos to a machinist. They’ll have those suds out in minutes.
Well, that’s where I took it - to the machine shop. Should be I looking for something else?

This really shouldn’t be an issue for a machinist. I’d just find someone else.
Yeah working on that now. Everyone seems so hesitant it’s like pulling teeth lol

At this point if your already in the serious money sink realm then you might as well buy some stuffed turbos and call it a day. As someone who had to swap my passenger side turbo I know how much fun that can be. Messed up 2 bolts, had to buy 2 and also had to tap one hole on the turbo flange. Managed to install it without dropping the engine. Been over a year and no leak yet so I would call that a success.
To all those with snapped bolts and dropped engines: ooof.
Also if someone wants a passenger turbo for said core swap then I got one with bad blades for a discount. Don't know the effort required to take the flange off and swap it on an otherwise good turbo.

Just a suggestion about that oil drain, I think its fair to say that may be the most difficult thing. How about once you have the turbos out, get a set of bolts the same thread size as those 10mm bolts, cut the heads off and use them like studs and put nuts on the other end. This will allow you to get the gasket on and line the oil drain pipe up in one go, then get a couple of nuts on far easier than the old bolts, then do the new nuts up with a wobble extension.
Any its a while ago but tank you to Toddasaurus for posting all that, very kind of you.
