To those with 3" DP, bolt question.
What kind of bolts do you guys have in there to secure to the turbo housing? Are they just regular hex, studs w/ nuts, or bolts with the allen wrench hole? I'm currently test fitting my DP to the turbo and it has studs w/ nuts. I think it is on there tight but the nuts are starting to strip from hitting the DP while tightening. I'm afraid later on if i need to remove something, the nuts will be so stripped i wont be able to get them off. What do you guys think about the allen wrench bolts? They have a smaller head so i thought those would work perfect. If anyone has any pics of their 4-bolt turbo w/ 3"DP please post. Thanks

just go to the local hardware store and pick up some allen head bolts. They are only gonna be a few cents each. and then u'll have much more room between the head fo the bolt and the pipe.

yes, a regular 8mm x 1.25 or 1.5 has atleast a 12mm or more commonly a 13mm head. the clutch cover bolts are the same pitch and have a smaller 10mm 12 point head.
