I just dug through my bolt drawr and belted that sh** together. Sure every half a year to a year the one or two might come loose, but you notice. I carry every thing I need to fix small stuff like that in my trunk. I don't think I'll ever by those turbo bolts...

Then probably.....so thinking back on what I said. My statements kinda only apply to a tubular manifold. =3. Well this tread is highly useful for my future.

Do not use ss bolts on exhaust manifolds or turbos, they are softer and will gall up and break upon removal after use. Use the oem as stated above and you will not regret it.Or you can buy my stainless steel turbo bolts for cheaper price than on vendor site. I cant use it because I have an aftermarket manifold.
Hmmm that strange because I take out my manifold and my turbo bolts over 5 time and I have no problem with it. Positive news about those is it doesn't get rusty.Do not use ss bolts on exhaust manifolds or turbos, they are softer and will gall up and break upon removal after use.

I have 14b, what u expect? Lol but thank for telling me that so I can be aware for my next turbo setup.You've been luckier than most, or you haven't gotten the turbo glowing red a few times.
Considering I used industrial 21mm bolts. And not small tiny bolts with big washers matter.
Jesus this ignorance undoubtedly knows NO bounds. Where do you source your info from? Not even the internet could conjure up such folly. This cannot even be called ignorance, it is deliberately wrong.
A bolt is not a bolt when you're talking about something that can see upwards of 2000*F heat cycles, sorry. SS bolts are far softer than the OE steel bolts so when you hit a burr in the cast steel hotside the SS bolt will immediately gall. Now you have a bolt that won't tighten and gets harder to turn as you back it out, then it snaps in the threads of the hotside.Like I said. Random bolts that fit. Since someone assumed I meant any kind of bolt. I'll add you should use industrial high temp bolts.[DOUBLEPOST=1416638697][/DOUBLEPOST]
A god damn bolt. Is a bolt. If it works. Why the f*** should I spend money when that money is needed for, transmission rebuild, paying someone to do it. If you want to call me a fool. Then why am I not cracking open my own transmission and f***ing up? If someone chooses to make a choice whether safe or not. Its not your job to to be rude, give advice, or even lie.(not that you would). The point being I'm tired of being treated like crap because I'm not a simpleton. I can't think of anything in a simple way. When I ask a question here, rarely ever do I even get the answer I'm looking for. Unless I'm asking something I don't understand. Then its simple.

You have been down this road before... Many times, actually. The answers you seek are already there. I know because I found them when I did not know.When I ask a question here, rarely ever do I even get the answer I'm looking for. Unless I'm asking something I don't understand. Then its simple.
