THDP Bolt Size?
I'm attempting to swap out my turbo with a new unit and the bolt heads that connect the Houston downpipe to the unit seem to be stripping out. They appear to be 6mm hex heads but when I put torque to them the hex socket starts to slip. How do I get the bolts out? Should I replace them with a different style of bolt? If so, what type and size? Thanks.

Re: THDP Bolt Size?
Here's a suggestion before you put things together ... go get some studs and use shouldered nuts (if there's room, otherwise use standard nuts).
The studs make alignment and getting things started SO much easier!
