when building your own turbo kit, where do you get the bolts and gaskets needed?
like the topic says, where do you get the bolts and gaskets you need when piecing the kit together yourself. such as the manifold to turbo bolts and gasket. is a gasket necessary? and the dp bolts and gasket, do you need a gasket for that?

I go to my local hardware store... And no a gasket is not needed between the turbo and manifold...

Actually there is. Its a T3 flange gasket b/w the turbo and the manifold, for correct seal. RTV copper is used b/w the downpipe and turbo..

I get all my bolts from http://www.mcmaster.com, and most of my gaskets I get from http://www.atpturbo.com

Two sites I visit very often!
I am especially fond of atpturbo.com, I have had good experiences with them every single time I've dealt with them. They usually ship my orders either the day I order them or the very next day
Oh, and don't cheap out on the hardware and gaskets. Get quality ss studs and use a gasket between the turbo and manifold, as well as all others... IMO it's just best to do it right the first time.

for bolts go to your local hardware store, and the only time you do not need a gasket between the manifold and turbo is if you have surfaced the flange and turbo so they are perfectly flat,
