The 2 bottom ones need studs and there's 1 hole on the turbo that does not have treads, that's the one that needs a longer bolt with a nut.
Also, make sure you use the MAP turbo to down pipe gasket, do not use the stock one.

Man I wonder why Nate didn't tell me that when I PM'd him about buying a gasket...Guess I'll call them tomorrow. Thanks for all the help Black!

I just spoke w/ Nate again and he said their gasket is formed off of the OEM one and to go ahead and use the OEM one if its not jacked up...

The gasket I got doesn't look like the OEM one. The OEM gasket has one large opening (because the stock turbo outlet is a "wide mouth" design) but the MAP gasket has 2 holes, one for the turbine and one for the wastegate.
You could use the OEM one but it's going to have a internal leak from one side to the other....

Ok, I'm going to see if I can get all the bolts etc from MAP, I spoke w/ Nate and he said to just go buy them. I've about had it w/ this damn thing, I've tried buying new studs longer and shorter, tried putting them in from the opposite side, tried hex head studs that fit allen wrenches, etc etc etc….this project has taken me almost a month (only working on it on the wk ends) to remove the manifold and stock down pipe, wrap manifold and down pipe and now I can't get the friggin thing back in due to being a retard and unable to find the correct hardware….AHHH!!!
