You'll need an easy out. Should be able to find one at sears or your local Grainger store. The dealer used to have them.
I have tried several different EZ outs and nothing will move.
however I am wrestling with this thing on a work bench and trying to remove them by hand.
I am afraid of breaking of the EZ out off in the fitting.
would heating the housing help? or that a bad idea?
well.... 2 strikes and I am out !
I have 2 turbos with broken fittings.
completely broke the cast housing on the first one, but I got the broken fitting out.
second one I cracked the housing and the fitting still won't budge.
good thing I have some other spare turbos !
seems like a good time to upgrade to a garrett. I've never seen them break a fititng.
Best way to remove broken fittings in the Mitsus is with a small grinder. We carefully grind the inside diameter of the fitting until you reach the bearing housing threads. Then pick the brass out from the threads.

anybody need a "slightly used" Mitsu turbo?
Some JB weld and its good as new !
You can always try running it without coolant flow to the turbo. Use good synthetic oil and you should be fine.

+1 I have run a couple turbos that way with very good results. Water cool it if you can, treat it right if you can't.

A little heat with a small propane torch will help. I had the same problem and that's how I got it out with an easy out
