does it need a 12 point socket? Sounds like the same kinda bold from a clutch. I got lucky and found someone with a 12 point socket set. A picture would tell us more

do as turbocivic17m says.
i've taken several turbos from volvos and they all use that type of bolt. and usually there are bolt clips you have to pry off first. anyway, vicegrips and a hammer. works everytime. you're not going to use the bolts anyway. if they break, the turbo can still come off.
