Bolt the turbo to the manifold Help!

I was wondering want you have to do in order to bolt the turbo to the manifold? The manifold doesn't have any thread so I thought you make one by forcing the exhaust bolt. It seems like the bolt got strip because when I torque the to where it feels tighten and suddenly click noise. After the click noise the bolt spin freely and you could just take it out without unscrewing it. Please let me know what to do?

Well you take this shaft type part that has a head on the top and a nut on the bottom. You put the shaft part down in the hole then screw till the nut on the bottom side is snug and tight all the way up against the hole.

haha

If I would know that most of you guys use a bolt and a nut I wouldn't buy the freaking Mazda stud and bolt for $50. Well, Thanks alot. I'll go get the M10x1.5 stud from the auto store.

Since neither my manifold nor my turbo are Mazda parts, it would not even cross my mind to order fasteners to hold them together from Mazda. What turbo and manifold do you have?
