Default HELP with a strip nut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I was in the process of swapping my downpipe when I had one bolt and nut left. Well the nut is stripped and I have no idea how to remove the nut. It's the top right bolt and nut on the turbo if your facing the car from the front. Please help and let me know what are my options!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, break out the Dremmel and begin to carefully cut through it.

Grab it with some vice grips and use a 14mm(or w/e it is) for the non stripped side.

if all else fails go to sears and get the bolt/nut remover. they work and aren't expensive. i'd let you use my set but i'm kinda stuck in hell right now.

thanks, but i dont think the socket will fit. the nut is between the two housing and there's barely any room.
