Exhaust Manifold studs for WG & turbo

[s2_wot]

Where is a good source of these items. Audi want almost €80 for the 4 x M10 & 4 x M8 pieces of threaded bar.

Any ideas folks or any BTDT, I damaged one of them removing it. I'm gonna take the magic wand to the others in an attempt to salvage them but if they were available new at a reasonable price that'd suit fine too.

I don't think you want to use cheap mild steel studs for these. BTW dont forget the difficult to get to nut round the back of the turbo/DP joint is a special one with a smaller hex, a normal nut will not tighten properly

For the wastegate ones I bought a 1m length of high tensile M8 studding, get it from a reputable nut and bolt supplier and not B&Q and it will be fine, just cut it to length.

For the turbo to manifold studs, just search ebay for M10(?) exhaust manifold studs, there are loads.
