So i finally got around to installing the turbo and mani and intercooler and of course Murphy's Law had to be right beside us during the install. Nonetheless, i had a fitting which accepted my factory oil pressure sender switch and had two other NPT holes. One of those holes was for my turbo oil feed line, the other for my mechanical oil pressure gauge. Now i had hooked up the turbo oil feed line and everything was nice and done. When it came time to turning back the fitting so that the oil filter could be replaced back on, the fitting broke! Now it made a clean cut and this is a vital part to the engine whether NA or turbo. So the car wont drive for a while till i get this piece out. I have another fitting on its way but anybody ever removed something like this? I think ima need an "Easy Out" set but does anyone know the procedure? Any thoughts/questions/suggestions/opinions are welcome.

Please help me!

and easy out would work well. get one thats slightly larger than the hole in the fitting and tap it in with a hammer. then just twist it out.
