i have a t25 turbo that i plan on installing in a few days....problem is that on the compressor side (going to the intercooler), one of the 3 bolts that holds the flange in place (but on the turbo itself, not the flange) is broken off inside the hole....and to make matters worse, its pretty much FLUSH with the surface...so i have been thinking that i should drill it out, then tap a new set of threads with a slightly bigger tap...i cant leave the bolt in there, because ill prolly loose alot of boost...any comments/suggestions?

yeah that suks i would use an extractor set,what it does is lines a hole dead center of the broken bolt or stud, than you drill a hole and than drill in the extractor in a counter clockwise direction to get it out,make sure you use a good set like from snap-on.I used this on my cylinder head to remove 2 broken studs good luck man.
Well, I wouldn't suggest doing this (you'll probably nick the surface), but it is a possiblity since you say the bolt is pretty close to flush.
Break out the Dremel!
Cut a groove in the middle of it and un-screw it with a flat head screwdriver. Heat up the turbo to make it easier to remove if needed.
Hose it out with parts breaker, tap it with a hammer..
That damn thing will give eventually
