Turbo to Manifold - what bolts to use?
 
Hi all! What bolts, nuts, washers do people use when attaching the turbo onto the manifold, reason for asking this is my bolts came loose and when I tried to tighten them again the 1 nut strippped its tread.

Please assist a guy :D

best to use studs in the manifold and use crush washers with a copper coated nut.

crush washers are the types of washers used on banjo bolts. mostly used for hydraulic connections.
spring washer will work too. i like the crush washer because there copper and wont rust or lock themselves to the stud or turbo.
