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.
