What size/specifications are the nuts that attach the turbo to the exhaust manifold.

Somehow 3 of the 4 on my car have worked themselves loose and have dissapeared. I need to know what size nuts to buy from wherever I can get them.

Welcome to the club!!!!!!
I have bolts (dont ask) and i cant get to them all. Pull the head for the 2nd time this month to tighten 4 bolts!
I think il put studs in where the bolts go, then locking nuts with locktite on them on the studs!

Through all the years I have never had a turbo come loose. There should be studs on the exhaust manifold with nuts clamping the turbo on. You might be using too long of a bolt that is bottoming out in the exhaust manifold before it clamps the turbo down tight.

Yeah i think once they get just a bit loose, the weight of the turbo and downpipe boncing on it loosens it really fast!
Il see what i can do, should be an easy permanent fix.
