Ok so i installed a new kit 2 weeks ago and the other day i looked under the hood to make sure everything was good and i noticed that a bolt that goes through the downpipe into the turbo and a bolt that goes through the downpipe and into the wastegate backed themselves out and are now missing. is there somewhere i can get these bolts from like in a hurry and how could this be prevented in the future? thanks

The bolts you can get from any local hardware store or you can order them from a Turbonetics dealer. For the turbine housing you would use M8-1.25 x 25 mm bolts. For the wastegate use 5/16"-18 bolts. To prevent this in the future I would put a little red loctite on them to keep them in.

thanks for the reply. i was hesitant to put loctite on the bolts because of the uncertainty of whether or not the would need to come out again.

Loctite won't prevent them from EVER coming out again. It just won't make it very easy for them to come out. I use loctitie on ALL my suspension parts. i can still take them out it just requires a little extra muscle.
