Default Suggestions? Please?? Pros?

Installing my turbo kit I broke off the T that screws into the factory oil feed where your factory sensor goes attempting to remove the threads with an easy out I broke that off in there aswell now the car is in the shop and it appears that my small 5 min mistake is going to cost me somewhere around 2k after they pull the head get it machined and put it back together suggestions on removal without pulling the head? I was considering a sandwich oil feed adapter on the oil filter and sealing up the factory hole but I am unsure if the adapter will fit on the tc2 because its oil filter is not normal here are a few pics of what happenedSuggestions? Please?? Pros?-imageuploadedbytapatalk1358574057.944523.jpgSuggestions? Please?? Pros?-imageuploadedbytapatalk1358574075.722926.jpgSuggestions? Please??

Have you thought about using a stripped/broken bolt removal tool? It's not quite like a drill bit, but it has "teeth" to grab the remaining metal to back it out.

You're right, totally missed that. My bad. Well, you could drill the whole darn thing out, re-thread it, and find a larger fitting. Definitely not the ideal fix. Good luck.

Not sure if you want to attempt this, but you could try heating the head while freezing the broken fitting. Might be able to get the head to expand and the fitting to shrink just enough to try another Easy Out.

I'm just gonna let the shop pull the head send it to a machine shop and do just that it's a delicate job and I'd you mess up a mm it will be in the cylinder head and cost even more
