Where is a good place to get new intake and exhaust bolts? Im piecing together my turbo setup. Also is $240 a good price for this intake and exhaust manifold kit? http://www.aaaaautomotive.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/6720801/vpcsid/0/SFV/32785

Where to get manifold bolts

To know if it's a good deal you need to price the missing item, the Turbo.
One thing to remember if you have a 73-91 truck and A/C that setup will not fit, if you have no A/C then you'll be fine.
Yeah still looking for a turbo, found a GM3 one on craigslist for $200, the guy said its in real good condition. I dont have AC. But Iam worried about the injector lines being in the way. I read to get a spacer made, but I also saw that someone used 2 manifold gaskets and it cleared them, so I might try that.
For the bolts you can go to any GM dealer or NAPA, I am sure they have them, or you can call the guys where you'd buy the intake and exhaust manifolds, they might have those too..
As for the Turbo, I think you better find a GM4 or GM8 they are better I heard.
haha well I ended up getting the GM3 turbo, I ended trading a bumper that I was going to throw away so I couldnt pass it up. A few more questions since Im new to turbos. What should I check for, how do I tell if the wastegate works, I cant move the rod by hand. Also there is a little oil in the intake side where the filter would go. It spins fine and cant feel any play. Also how does the oil intake line hook up, it looks like it would be a 2 bolt flange take thing. Thanks
I never had a waste gated turbo so I don't know how to check them but I am guessing they should be easier to check once seperated since they should relieve pressure from the inside.
As for the deal you got, I would do the same, I have gotten second choices when offered deal for stuff I was going to scrap anyway, worst case you can turn around and sell it if you are not satisfied.
