I'm replacing turbos on my 2012 MKS. I noticed the new turbos, where they attach to the manifold/ downpipe, are threaded. Where can I find the studs/nuts for these? I've already rounded 1 of these nuts, so I'd like to replace if possible

The nut is Ford part # W714265-S441

Not sure what the Ford part # is for the stud however, this will work:

Cool! I assume red loctite on the turbo side of the threads?

Are those studs long enough? Less than an inch on the long side seems a little short

Loctite is useless in that hot environment. After using an induction heater and breaking bolts (all the nuts and bolts were frozen) when I changed my turbo, I used a high temp anti-seize in case I need to take it apart later (hoping that will help).

That stud is the correct length.

I'm having the same issue with frozen bolts. Had to buy a propane torch lol. It's slow but cheap and seems to work
