[s-cars] RS2 Turbo studs

[Jared Robinson]

Looks like the ones that go into the turbo (manifold side and downpipe side)
are 10mm locknuts
and the ones that go into the wastegate are 8mm lock nuts

I've found them online for about 50c each (better than $5/ea...) but after
putting about $5 worth of bolts into my 'basket' at AutohausAZ, the shipping
charges were $12...... for a baggy full of nuts

gonna source em local instead
