1G New turbo to manifold bolts

[Steve92talon]

Where have u picked up 4 new bolts for the turbo to manifold. My turbo is a m8x1.25 thread pitch and no one have a 3 inch bolt for bolting it together its bolted with some long skinny nuts and bolts for now but all 3 stores don't have anything longer then 2 inches in that thread. Amazon? The m10 is much too big I must have a slightly newer turbo from a eclipse that's a m8x1.25 thread.

I got mine from summit racing and also noticed that that Elliot's Hardware had the same strong version and brand of the bolts.

You guys must have limited hardware stores. I'm yet to discover a certain sized bolt that at least one of my local stores doesn't have.

I use ARPs and have been reusing the same set for over 6 years. No issues after over a half dozen turbo removals.

Don't just buy any hardware bolts, they need to be strong. I purchased some once that broke when I removed them.

They need to be strong,

and survive many high temperature heat cycles

They need to be strong,

There is reason why they make different grades of bolts...

When I am using a DSM flanged turbo, I splurge on these AND the conical washers.

Yes I live in a town with 8k people. A m8 x1.25 thread pitch 3 inches long dose not exist. I plan a trip to the big city this weekend that's a hr away to look at home hardware. I got it bolted together with some 7/16 bolts and nuts for now leak free actually ha ha.
