Default Turbo bolts.

The two top nut and bolts that hold my TD05 to my down pipe are really fooked. Is there a nut and bolt combo i need to use there due to the heat or is anything i use there going to seize?

Cheers

I can do you 2 new Subaru studs with nuts, posted for £3.00 if you want to get in touch. Unfortunately because of the great heat from the turbo, in excess of 900C sometimes there is always a possibility of the studs and nuts siezing. Particularly on older cars or those that live by the seaside for any length of time.
