I would only buy the nuts, not the bolts. THe nuts are slightly bent on one side to make them locking. You should also buy the thin metal crush gasket that goes between turbo and manifold. Sure, people say it's not required but who wants to risk carbon monoxide? I haven't replaced the 3 nuts on the downpipe but I guess you could see how expensive they are. If you're swapping turbos, you want to remove your turbo with the oil drain pipe attached. THen, after it's out, swap the drain pipe to your new turbo before you install it. YOu'll probably need new gaskets for the oil supply and return lines where they're attached to the turbo. After you get the turbo bolted up, put a rag under the supply line and crank the engine with coil wire pulled so it doesn't start. Crank it for about 10 seconds to prime the line and to flush out any gasket material or other junk. THen you can bolt supply line to turbo and be done with it. The turbo nuts are expensive but they're worth it if you can't find cheaper source. Don't use nylon locking since they will melt and stink.
