Exhaust manifold - turbo & WG studs?

[merlin's S4]

I should've done this long ago but I've finally seen sense and purchased a Wagner Evo exhaust manifold, (thanks Carsten, fantastic service!!). I now need the studs to mount the turbo and wastegate. Can anyone give me the specs and/or a source for these studs or are they Audi parts only? Thanks!!

They aren't audi only I got mine from 034 however, it aybe quicker to buy them from Audi via quattro corner though

You can order them from the dealers, you need 16 rs2 em studs, 16 washers and 16 nuts, (nuts are only sold in bags of 25 though)

Also, if you order a new EM gasket they are costing about £45+ atm

Good luck

get a full gasket kit from pete at qc. they that gasket and loads of others. they will come in useful.

i used the standard wastegate studs and just normal bolts on the exhaust to turbo. always hated turbo studs.

I've already sorted the manifold to head studs thanks and I already have a headgasket set from Pete.

Just need to sort 4 studs to mount the turbo and the 4 studs for the wastegate.

Why don't you just get a length of stainless steel threaded bar and cut it to length ? 8 mm is about £2 per metre 10 mm is about £3.50 a metre .

SS is not strong enough. It has to be something that doesnt turn in to cheese when it gets hot/

[GazzaG60]

the bolts i use, not studs i presume are stainless. they dont melt or bend and neither does my ss manifold.

they are cheap *** bolts.

ive seen too many studs snap over the years to belive they are any better

I have tried some stainless stell bolts on some high torque and heat engine parts, but was not very impressed.

They are fine for some applications but i dont think the thread grips as well as 8.8 or stronger bolts and studs.

resurected thread I know but cast your mind back...are these them ?

it appear the wagner turbo thread is an M10 x 1.25 pitch....so an unusual one so say the least.....

Those were for the RS2 Evo manifold which were 10.x1.5 I only bought them as I bought a lot of things from 034 in a batch.

my SQ had 10x1.25 pitch thread, buy them from ebay, Jap cars use them like Scoobies and Nissans I bought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-x-Subaru...item4840a6150c

are these long enough? 32mm seems a little close to call length wise....

No they are too short that's why I bought them :cuckoo:
