Fitting new turbo is it imperative to use Torx type bolts as per original

Speak to Brickwerks - they should be able to confirm, but my understanding is that they're a special alloy that can deal with the extreme temperature fluctuations, so I think you need to use exactly the same type of bolt.

That's right. They are painfully expensive, about £20 each, and if you have them re-use them.

That said, I have used others in the past when the originals rounded off or were otherwise not available, and it does seem to hold up with normal mild steel bolts.

Ta for replies. heated , and got old ones out ,cleaned up and reused cheers
