Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone else has had same problems. I had my bolts/studs break in the wastegate flange twice now on this setup. We were using fairly cheap bolts. Going for some better ones this time around. Anyone had a similar experience?

I used the Honda bolts for my Wastegate before and never(*knocks on wooden desk* had it broken but then I switched to somekind of Allan Head bolts that I got from HomeDepot. Everything is good still.
Just use the same bolts that your using on the Manifold to the head, those should hold nicely.

, the next step up is L9 I believe. I used grade 8 bolts everywhere and L9's for the turbo to mani connection.
