Wastegate Actuator bolts

[BuickMike231]

Hey guys, anybody know off hand the thread and length info for the two bolts that hold the wastegate actuator to the turbo? I can't seem to find that info in the books I have.

Thanks!

5/16-18 at least thats what it was on my te60. Don't remember the length but probably like 3/4

If it's stock 8x1.25x10mm will work. Sometimes it's worth bottom tapping the threads. If it's a t04e cover or a copy of one 5/16-18x3/8. You won't find those anywhere. Bottom tapping and using 1/2 length will work

Be cautious. 8mm and 5/16" can look a lot alike to the untrained eye.

A good hint verify is it's metric or standard is too look at the markings on the bolt heads you know belong there.
