Where Can I buy ARP EVO Exhaust Mani to Turbo Bolts?

[fergulus]

I found a set of ARP bolts that were for an EVO exhaust manifold a while back on a website, but cannot find them anymore. I have an FP Race Manifold and MAPerformance never shipped me all the correct bolts, so I am missing one. I want to go ahead and get all ARP bolts, which were 12pt black coated.

Does anyone have any clue where I can get these? I have tried all the big companies, i.e. MAPerformance, Slowboy, JNZ, STM.

Those shorter bolts are the same as the bolts used for the o2 housing. If you can find ARP's for that, then you're set.

Have you tried contacting MAPerformance to send you the right bolt?

FFWD sells them.

Thanks! That's where I found them before, their website can just be confusing sometimes

Do not use arp bolts for the turbo to mani many people have had them sieze in there and snap when trying to remove them. Get OEM bolts with 2 oem turbo lock washers per bolt and you will be set.

I agree, I also recommend not to use the arp bolts for the turbo to exhaust manifold.

I'm using ARP chromoly bolts for the mani to turbo and they haven't seized when using the ARP moly lube. I've only been using them for 2k miles though.

The ARP stainless steel ones are the ones alleged to seize.

As far as the trend of saying that ARP bolts break off more than OEM, I currently am running SS ARP turbo bolts on a MHI turbo with absolutely no issues. They have not loosened up or siezed as I have seen in other threads.

The bolts that I was looking for, and I posted a link to, are not the stainless steel bolts that one person had issues with loosening on this site.

Okay so I have a question: I am running only 1 good turbo bolt.WTF
The rest are missing, one is snaped in the manifold. If I get the ARP high grade 170000 psi alloy bolts, Is that all I need?
Just bolt these in there with the washer supplied?
Thanks.

Thats correct. Those are the bolts you want. I am currently running those with no issues. Make sure that you have a new gasket, and that you get that broken bolt out so you will use all four points. Without that you stand a great chance of never getting a good seal and having an exhaust leak. That means less power.

The stainless steel bolts that I HAD in my manifold actually warped. While they never loosened under driving or vibration, one was so bent that I could not pull it out of the manifold at all.

Okay thanks, just what I wanted to hear.
Yea I know not to get the ARP Stainless Steel Turbo Bolts

Like that never happens with the OEM bolts. Plus there is only one person who has has had a problem like that with ARPs and they were stainless, not the chromoly bolts. I will be using the ARP's from FFWD on my turbo swap.
