Turbo Bolt sizes?

I need the diameter of the bolt's not bothered about the lengths, which mount the compressor and exhaust housing on a Garrett turbo (GT30) unit but i'm sure they'll use the same size bolts throughout the range

many thanks

If you make the bolts from titainium they don't corrode or slip even on the hot side of a turbo!

My GT30 has 6 off 1/4 unc bolts that bolt through the 3 locking plates each side of the central bearing housing, if they're what you mean

Which is just over 6mm - i'll have to double check when i get the car back

I'm wanting to fit the rod end bearing to it for a custom turbo hanger as i can't fit the standard bracket due to stuff being in the way
