its called tap and die - most machine/engineering shops will do it
You can buy cheapo tap sets from $2 shops.
LOL
does the job.
If it were a tool that would be used fairly often then I wouldn't cheap out.
i plan on using it for a one off. so no1 can name or recommend a particular shop theyve had experience with???
have you tried googling 'mobile thread repairer sydney' ?

Hannys Performance can do that for a cheap price or could be free if he is in a good mood :)
pirtek would probably do it
on the turbos its a stud, just remove the stud with another one.
Due to heat on the turbos the studs do break down
If your tapping make sure you take it slow and reverse it every now and then. Nothing worse then trying to tap a new thread and the tap breaks on you. I use to work at an engineering workshop, even the expensive taps break easily.
