So I had a problem with my wg leaking...i noticed that the bolts that came with the wg was stripping...maybe causing the leak at the manifold flange.

Do you guys know if i can order new Tial bolts...or you think i should just get some other bolts?

I used studs. Go to Autozone and check out the help section...get a set of metric water pump studs. It should come with three studs and they are M8x1.25. I used these for my wastegate and on the head for the exhaust manifold.

Ill check them out.....i just wanted to see since it get really hot there and probably causing the threads to stretch.

anyone else prefer the tial bolts?

i had some problems with the tial bolts too. I just used some high grade bolts.... so i can finaly use a wrench to tighten..

8mm automotive studs always works pretty well for me with no stripping problems.

i was just about to ask that.....do you think the tap for the bolt is standard? im using a maxrev mani...well i guess as long as the bolt is the same as the tial right?
