Turbo to DP Bolts

[Tom Duff]

I have studs on my turbo for the dp, but I want swap them out as the nuts are a nightmare to tighten. Due to the closeness of the dp the spanner continually slips and as result, once done up, the copper nuts are rounded out, making it even more of a nightmare to undo them.

Some allen keyed bolts would be spot on, so I was wondering if anyone can point me at a set of bolts (for the same 5 bolt garrett exhaust housing) like the ones in the pic below? - The image is from an old BDM customer car thread, but I thought I'd ask here in case others are using them.

Try Alex@Backdraft Motorsport or Bill@Badger5.

thats such a good idea! I struggled relentlessly to get all my nuts onto the studs, and had to take the rear engine mount off everytime i wanted to adjust the DP... that would solve every problem going

Not much help i know but thanks for that haha

Do they to be need any particular grade or have any treatment because of the heat they will see?

Thanks.

I would start with 10:8 or 12:9, but he heat will decay their tensiles.. OR get some A2 stainless ones
