What bolts do you use on your turbo

I need to know if there is special heat treated bolts that go on a single turbo manifold or can i just go to homedepot and pick some bolts up. Just wondering.

any high grade SS bolt should do
just make sure you get some "stovers" i think they call them for nuts so they dont back off

I'd avoid stainless, too soft, and it galls at the drop of a hat. Get OEM bolts from Mazda.

This if for aftermarket turbo.. I have a 60-1 here that needs to be mounted on the manifold. I need some screws to mount it. So a turbo/performance shop should have what im looking for then. Or does anyone know of a place online where i can purchase them from. Thanks.

Ace Hardware usually has a good selection, especially if you need grade 8 and metric. Remember to use anti-sieze. That turbo will be comming off again at some point
