Help need parts!!
Hey guys I was wondering if you guys can help me out on a hunt for some parts. First off I need some injector o-rings and seals for a my03 wrx of course. I also need some turbo gaskets, and a bolt that is missing from my turbo stud(14mm not sure thread type). And my last question is, by missing that turbo bolt I couldve possibly had a boost leak correct?

i thought some bolts are stronger than others. Anyways, that's what i was told, theres also a number on majority of the bolts that tell what it's made of and other things. maybe i'm wrong, who knows.

Maybe this will help a little more. When I bought my uppipe it came without any stud, so I went ahead and bought some bolts from OSH and I bolted them up from the turbo down to the uppipe. I didnt use any nuts, just the thread on the uppipe. I did use ONE stud from the stock uppipe, I was unable to take off the rest. That one stud that I'm using is without a nut on top, I havent had any leaks for the past half year.

a bolt is NOT a bolt. the materials are all different, how they are made, whether they are strengthened, etc. etc. NEVER think that a home depot replacement will work for something in your car unless a mechanic tells you it is...
that doesn't mean that a home depot bolt wouldn't work, it just means that it may not be strong enough, may not be able to handle the heat or vibration or soemthing, and are more prone to failure.

I agree, if I have any problems that will just give me an excuse to upgrade to something else. So far I haven't had any, luck maybe?
