[s-cars] RS2 Turbo studs

[trgreen at comcast.net]

The turbo to manifold nuts are larger.  I will have to check them when  

 I get home.  Some of the nuts are expensive but not the manifold nuts.

Also, are they the same size nuts for everything (turbo to manifold, turbo to downpipe, wastegate to downpipe)?

So, I got all the gaskets I need.  
I wanted to get a handful of nuts though. What size are they? 
10mm lock nuts?  
ECS wants like $5/nut... I think I've seen these for about 50c each at BMW or VW...

The shorter studs involved in the RS2 turbo installation are the four interior studs on the RS2 exhaust manifold.  If you mate the manifold to the head with the old studs still in place it will be obvious which studs are involved because there is no way to put a nut on those four studs.  (You still need to install them first.)  The studs for the turbo itself do not need modification.

which studs are these? 
The ones from the manifold>turbo or the ones from the Turbo>downpipe 
and if that's the case, what's the size of them?
