Stud Size for the Turbo Oil Pipe. And a Question.

[Turbo Habanero]

So i decided i want to replace the two studs that hold the Oil pipe from the turbo to the block with 12mm Nuts.

Can anyone be so kind to tell me the size i need so i can see if i can find it at a local hardware store.

Also do you think it would be wise to use a slightly longer stud ? Reason i ask is i think this could make it much easier to get the nut back on the stud for installation. Since i currently live in a Apartment Complex i am unable to life the car in the air due to rules management have put in place, this makes putting the turbo oil line back on quite a pain.

So the best approach to putting the turbo back on i've found so far is to have all the oil lines (Driftmotion Soft Line kit) hooked up to the turbo and then simply sliding the gasket and flange over the studs on the block and then attempting to tighten the 12mm nuts back on the studs. Although this has not worked out as easy as it sounds i am open to tips and or tricks anyone has to offer.

Thanks in Advance SM.

The stud option is the best. You will get pissed quickly trying to hold bolts and gaskets with the flange.

I'm pretty sure that's a standard 8mmX1mm thread. I'l know for sure when I get my block back. I did replace mine with studs already.
