i was putting the heat sheid back on the car and snaped the head of the bolt, the one that goes into the exaust manifold from the turbo to hold the heat sheid on. didn't even use that much force either.
any ideas on getting it out?

pretty common bolt to snap..
easy outs sometimes work, its a pretty low tension bolt, so they might work. Dont bother wasting your money on a cheap set, spend up, or they'll give you more trouble than they are worth.
You can weld another bolt to the broken bolt in the manifold, which is what i would do personally, and then undo the bolt that way. Too easy...

Snapped bolt
Looks likes this happens quite a bit.
Have a look at the thread called "Broken Thermostat housing bolt"
This is a similar problem that worked out OK.
There is also a link that describes how to try and recover if the ezyout doesn't work.
