Default Mounting turbo to Manifold

I have been reading a lot on this site and have almost completed piecing a turbo kit together and i had a few quick questions.

What is the best way to mount to the turbo to the manifold because where bolts are supposed to go, there are holes but they are not threaded or anything.

And what is suppposed to be used to mount a dp to the turbo, are there supposed to be studs coming out of the exhaust side? or do i just put bolts through the flange and tighten it down? here are some pics to help, thanks.

The manifold itself doesnt need to be threaded, as the actual tension of the bolt is what holds it to the head.

Your need the flange in the lower right hand corner.

Sorry misread. You just need 4 bolts, nuts, and I like to use lock washers on the side with the nut, the ones that are split in the middle that compress when you tighten them. You shouldnt have any problems with that.

If your using an external wastegate yes. If your using an internal gate, see the flange just to the left? Thats the one you will need.

Really doesnt matter, but most will put the nut on the underside.
