LGTspecB1657615261 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I know this has been answered but I can't find it. And I am too lazy to go take one of the nuts off and measure it... My guess is M10 x 1.25 but wanted to confirm before I go to Murrays and pickup some spare studs. I have a turbo install and I plan to remove the uppipe studs from the top to make the install easier and reduce the risk of tearing the turbo inlet. So, I figured I would by a few spare studs just in case. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTspecB1657615261 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 After much searching I found it. Are there any other parts I might need? Occasionally, an uppipe (especially used ones) will come without uppipe studs. If you are unable to obtain them from your Vendor, you will need five of SOA part number 800910340 which retail for ~$8.50 each. Alternately, you could source an automotive stud, m10 x 1.25 by 41mm at a parts store, preferrably Grade 8. Removing studs from an OEM uppipe usually will end up ruining the studs. You do not want to start an uppipe install with the hope that you can remove the stock studs. For removal or installation of these studs, be sure to use the double nut method.

boost4life Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Use some anti seize on them it will make things easier later on for the you or the next guy, also so it doesn't pull the nut and stud from the uppie when you remove it if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balrock Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I busted a stud today while removing. PB's them bitches, but this one was just a PAIN and then..SNAP! Ripped the bolt stud right out of the turbo. Luckey for us I had a core vf40 with some spare studs. That was the only issue really. The rest went pretty well, except that POS inlet tube!
