Title: turbo/downpipe bolts
Post by: bake82 on January 02, 2008, 10:33:34 AM
Hey Guys,

Looking into getting some new turbo/downpipe bolts.  I'm not completely convinced the ones I used in the fall are good enough to withstand the heat and torque they will go through come the summer, and since I need to remove the turbo anyways, I want to replace them.

Where did you guys buy them?  Can I get them online? any specs I should be looking for?

Thanks in advance.

Kyle

I bought M8 stainless bolts from Canadian Tire and put copper anti seize on them.

i know they are M8, but I think the thread pitch is 1.5, maybe 1.25 I can't recall.  Some people have gone different routes with them, I forget the grade, but I know they are definitely hard.  Little antiseize doesnt hurt.  check the forums, there are threads about upgrades somewhere.
