Somehow or someway, one of my bolts holding my wastegate to my turbo came out. So whats the measurments or specs of these bolts. By the way the turbo is a redtop t25. Thanks

Are you talking about the ones that hold the wastegate actuator to the bracket, the ones that hold the bracket to the turbo, the ones that hold the elbow to the wategate or the ones that attach to the turbine or something else?

pics maybe?

the ones that hold the wastegate acuator barket to the compresser housing, right next to the compresser inlet elbow. The engine is now only hitting about .4 bar instead of the .9 i had it set to using the hks wastegate acuator, BIG drop in power. SUCKS I just need to know what size, spec, tread lenght, or whatever anybody know about the bolts so i can just pick them up when i get of work in the morning.

You can just order them from the nismo shop or something. Or even phase2motor I believe carries them.

You could probably just get some bolts at advanced auto or a parts store.

Any grade 8 bolt in m6x1.25 will work (i think they're 1.25). There's no specific torque spec on them. Just tighten them good enough, and if you're still not trusting your own sense of torque, throw some loctite on them. Since the housing is aluminum, usually the bolts will heat fuse in place (the aluminum of the compressor housing expands at a different rate from the steel bolts and effectively gouds the threads and locks them in place. This is usually why it's a PITA to break the trans bolts loose on an SR that hasn't had its trans off in forever)
