Nuts and bolts aren't too expensive, so you should be fine getting them from the dealer.

Well as comparison, I got some hardware today from the dealer (after comparing prices with ecs).

Turbo oil return line gasket (lower) -ECS[2.10] -Dealer[4.32]
Turbo oil return line gasket (upper) -ECS[2.50] -Dealer[4.32]
Turbo to manifold bolts (each) -ECS[4.25] -Dealer[4.87 + .77 for washer]
OEM Locking nut (turbo to cat, each) -ECS[8.69] -Dealer[0.52] <-good savings for 3x
Exhaust gasket -ECS[5.95] -Dealer[11.57]

In case someone wants to know. Its worth it for me to have em right away and not pay for shipping.

This is a pic of a kit that ECS sells for $43.95... http://ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/page...category=Turbo
Makes no sense.

I got the gaskets from gpopshop. The bolts seemed reasonably priced, so i just grabbed em.
