Question about the bolts on a turbine housing...!!!
My turbo needs 2 new ones, and my question is, what grade do they need to be? I have some that are class 8.8, but i dont think that is close to a grade 8 or anything. Will these be ok, or do I need a much higher grade?

Won't the locktite just burn off. Hell, the red stuff is only good for 440deg F, which will get scorched as soon as the motor is warm.

Yeah you needatleast a grade 8, ACe hardware carries grade eight. I know your peicing together your setup now and ill give you some advice, that will cost you about $10 more but you will thank me later. Replace the bolts with studs, this was the best decision i ever made. We all hate exhuast leaks, especially when you cant get to them and you habve to take stuff apart to get to them. My first turbo setups used all bolts 
My downpipe bolts were always backign out.
This time around i used all studs, lockwashers, red loctite, and i havent had one single problem.
