Bolt size length and thread ?

Holding the turbo to the exhaust manifold there are four bolts. On top, there are two that I had to replace recently, with nuts and bolts, but now I seem to have lost the two on the underside, and unless I'm mistaken, those two thread right into the manifold itself? Needless to say, I'll be using plenty of locktite when I replace them!

Also, I seem to have lost the two Tranny to crossmember bolts. I found one and put it back in a few weeks ago, but now I've lost both of them, If I remember correctly, they had 9.8 stamped on the heads. Same question as above?

metric bolts

I don't know what size bolts they are, but if they had a 9.8 stamped on the head you will be restricting your search to Metric bolts. Radial slashes on a bolt head = Imperial, numbers = Metric fasteners.

Thanks for replying and bumping the thread for me. On the tranny mount bolts, I may just try to go by memory, and guess the right size, I'm not sure what to do about the turbo bolts yet. Lowe's is 24 miles away, so I don't want to make more than one trip.

I say just drill the threads out of the manifold and put whatever size you want in there but that's just me. I wanna know how those studs backed out though.

The thing is, that these thread into the manifold, and don't come out the other side.
