I removed on my turbo due to a major oil leak and all the bolts came out without issue. Got lucky for once. I been reading everything I can on the site and read suggestions to install studs on the oil return rather then try to bolt the flange backup. I also need 3 studs for the header connection as I don't think the rebuilt turbo from Bison is going to have them installed. Where did you guys get the studs? Just any auto parts store? Once I finish replacing all the hoses and install the turbo I will go back to trying to find my mystery clapping noise.
studs - where to get them?

For header studs you can use 3/8" set screws so you can install and remove them with an allen wrench.
Use flanged nuts with them so they will not loosen.

My local muffler shop for the studs for the turbo.
I went there for advice once. Plummed my turbo outlet into my radiator. Didn't work very well.I was going to say T6P...……

Overkill maybe
But some of the best
For turbo applications - Inconel is superior to all other type of metal; ARP, Stainless, god forbid Grade 8 standard, or other.
As a general proposition - you really want a stud with a shoulder. For pre-tensioning.
The Mazda boys use these for very demanding requirements. Zoom Zoom.

LOL - oh hell ya.
I'm a moron when it comes to transmissions and rear ends.
And I ain't the sharpest pencil in the box when it comes to all the internal engine speak.
Crank this and rod that.
But I'm hell with a bottle of spray n wax though!
And oh - rear drum brakes - hate em!

No sheet it ain't
But I'm tellin ya - you will not stretch, break, or otherwise distort Inconel.
I actually have Inconel Allen Head caps screws for my DP.
You can always tell - they have sort of a wierd bronzey like / copperish color to them.
And they always come right out - like butter.
Of course, as Earl says, I lube it up with hi temp anti seize everytime so that helps.
Earl knows lube.
And anti seize!

It's the $28 shipping that is FUBAR.
Find some other place that puts them in a $2 box via USPS
Alot of these joints make up for whatever they think are low prices by pumping their shipping costs.
And 49 bucks for 4 (or 3?) studs ain't exactly low anyway.
Google some more.
