They are originally studs (M10 x 38mm) so M10 nuts should work.

Re: Turbo nuts
if its the problem i think your having. When you start the nuts on the studs lift the turbo off the header an inch or so, so that only a little bit of the the stud comes through. the nuts should spin when they're flat against the exhaust housing flange.

Nope, Jeff hit it right on the nose. The O.D. on all the nuts in stores is too big. I lost one of the nuts but I am not going to put one new nut on with three old ones. Just me I guess.

Re: Turbo nuts
What I did since the stock studs are 303 stainless was purchase matching stainless steel nuts which came in a larger diameter than the factory non-stainless steel nuts, and machined them down on the mill. Very time consuming to cut all six flats on each nut, but worth it. Now no more worries about siezed nuts due to different metals. (yes I do use anti-sieze, but it still happens)

Re: Turbo nuts
So they charged you for each single nut? If I remember tomorrow, I'll get on our part guys pc so I can get the P/N for the actual nut, wether there are any available, and if there are what other dealerships or warehouses have them.
