Where to get turbo bolts
Stupid question maybe, but I haven't yet picked up on where you diy guys get your turbo bolts (to bolt turbo to manifold). Seems like it's be too easy to just grab some stainless bolts from homedepot. What am I missing?

circlip you mean the cotter pin deal just use some wire. take the turbo in and match up the bolts to the holes. as not all are the same or buy a big ole bag of bolts and figure it out alot of spare bolts on hand comes in handy in the maintnence and install process. just make sure to keep them out of the turbo,

Audi dealership.
they have the right size with and they're smaller to fit a 12mm wrench instead of the usual 13mm. every mm counts in those contorted spaces!
They are copper clad M8x1.25 "jet nuts" which are the squished ones that are self locking -- even under heat cycling.
I recommend you buy a buttload just for kicks.
