U r better off getting mm bolts at ur local auto parts store. I had to buy new bolts for my o2 down pipe at Auto zone. They come in little package of 4-6 bolts in 10, 12, 14,17 etc mm size. Nuts are sold separately.

Buy the bolts from Mitsu, the contain some sort of witchcraft that allows them to expand more than bolts you can get at the hardware store which keeps them from backing out. If you get bolts from the hardware store you will have to go back and retighten them every oil change.

Bolt grade markings. You want hard bolts for the turbo. If you have access to a small acetylene torch you can heat the casting (carefully...just "tip it") and bolts come out w/o snapping. I choose dealer bolts always.

^ what they said, oem. I tried the longest time to find decent ones, arp makes replacements that are probably fine (haven't tried em) but I just went oem since I wanted them faster and I've never had problems with oem backing out.
And make sure to use the double washers for the mani/turbo bolts and studs. They are installed with the dots facing away from each other.
