Since no one obviously ships simple bolts to install their products with anymore I'm left pondering what I should use to bolt a T3 turbo charger up to a 2.5" thick T3-T3 wastegate adapter that goes between my exhaust manifold and my turbo. The bolt holes and threads are roughly the same pitch and diameter as the average bolt that is used to hold the o2 housing onto the turbo...but the bolts can only be 1.25" - 1.50" in total length.

So with all that said...I have been looking at some "accessory" studs from ARP and I'm wondering if they'll work to bolt my turbo to the adapter and the adapter to my manifold. The ARP SKU number for the studs is ARP-400-8011

Please let me know what you guys think...I can pick up a set of 8 of these for about 60 bucks.

going to rephrase the question here...will M8x1.25x32mm ARP studs and nuts work to hold the T3 turbo onto the T3 exhaust manifold?
 
/headdesk any information pertaining to this would be good...even if it might be misinformation, I'd just like to have a general idea of what the thread pitch and diameter of the bolt holes in the exhaust discharge are on a T3 turbo charger with a 4 bolt outlet. If M8x1.25 then I'm golden. Finding these 8 bolts is holding up the entire build.
 
Take an 8x1.25 bolt and thread it into the hole. If it's right, it's right. Most turbo to manifold bolts are 10x1.25 though. If you can't find the specific length you need, you can go to your local hardware store and get grade 8 or better of the pitch you need longer than you need it, then thread a nut all the way on and cut it to length with a cut-off wheel. When you remove the nut it will restore the threads where you cut enough to use the bolt again. Quick fix.
