UT apexi rx6 turbo

I'm running an apexi rx6 turbo and I need to replace the studs going to the down pipe. does anybody know where I can pick some of these up at or would it be better to replace them with a bolt? If so what size am I looking for? Thanks

MIA-FST-030 8mm (1.25pitch) Stud
MIA-FST-031 8mm (1.25pitch) Nut,

These are the part numbers for the studs and matching nuts from ATPTurbo.com

Same studs for the manifold->turbo and from the manifold->wastegate

You can replace the studs with bolts (I did this on stock hybrid with tight fitting 3.5" downpipe).

Problem is the bolts will back off more easily (same thing as head bolts vs head studs).

So, I drilled each bolt head and ran safety wire through all the bolt heads- worked great!

RX6 to down pipe connection-

Thanks for the info. I ended up ordering the studs and nuts. Now it's time to pull the turbo.
