Are they strong enough to hold up the turbo or do they need replaced? If they do need replaced whatsize exact size are they. I know 10mm but how long and what thread?

Matt, when I bolted up my custom manifold, the bolts were more than long enough.(and I'm sure strong enough) I do think that I will be buying new high temp bolts just cause I want them to look cool, the stock bolt look like ass. IMO. Plus shoot it is only like 5 dollars worth of bolts To get the thread, just take the one in the lower left, or right, out and go to your local hardware stare and use it for comparison.

I studded my manifold. Those hex head bolts that come with the kits suck ass bad... studs are the way to go, i havent had 1 prob since its been studded.

yeah studded sounds good because I blow manifold bolts and the turbine to manifold bolts. I juiced those bolts up with locktite though hehe never had a problem since. Haha might have a problem taking it off now though well I do know the size of the hex bolts on the sides, I blew on out and got a major manifold leak.
The side bolts with the head are Metric Hex Flange Bolts that are M8x30 and are 1.25 Pitch. They're an exact match I think, it fits anyway. I got it from orchard (pretty pricey O_o) but they're grade 10.9 bwhahahah try to break that sucka!
