Hi i have an 84 t type and when i bought it the whole turbo was off the car. When i was putting everything back together (and im no master mechanic by any means) i striped the bottom bolt that holds the wastegate actuator to the turbo. The top bolt holds the actuator on fine but i was wondering what i should do about the bottom hole?

You could buy a thread repair kit but the simplest and best solution is take the housing to a machine shop and let them fix it. It will be cheap, maybe $25. I broke a bolt in an aluminum housing and had to do the same thing. It just happens sometimes.
