Ok ive searched around, didnt really know what to search for but i came up empty anyway...

i need mounting hardware for turbo install, specifically i need the turbo to manifold studs, wastegate to manifold studs, turbo to downpipe studs, and all other neccesary bolts/studs....

anybody know where i can get them, can i use just basic home depot supplies?

 

Yep I just did that a week ago. I took all my hardware (turbo, DP flange, manifold, etc..) and went to the hardware isle. You want hardened steel for all of these. Make sure you get washers and locknuts too. I used bolts for all of them and not the allen wrench style. As long as It's hardened steel I don't see why this can't work! I did have to specially get the DP flange to turbo bolts because the one's at Lowes were too long and I didn't feel like cutting them! But Lowe's will definatly do the job otherwise find a plumbing or specialty hardware store

 

what about from the mani to the head, can i use the bolts from my DC header that i have on there right now?

 

I haven't heard of anyone use anything else, but those.

 

For turbo to manifold I used bolts from the hardware store. Just make sure they are grade8.

 

Yep! Grade 8 = Hardened Steel

 

I had a really hard time finding all the hardware that I needed...

Maybe it's because I'm in Utah and there are no decent auto parts or hardware stores

Anyways, I ended up buying most of my stuff from Stan (flemenco-T) at Fast-Turbo.com... he had everything I needed in stock and had awesome prices...

Plus he had all the stainless metric studs that I needed (very hard to find!)
