It may not be made like that from factory but it makes no difference in a practical application.

Tighten them up after the first heat cycle and I've never had them come loose. FACT!! Expand I like this backyard racer approach. Simple sh*t just works sometimes it's crazy.

Maybe they can also mention why cheaper iron is used in mass production of turbine housings vs more expensive materials and production methods and why cast iron nuts are not feasible. After all these are the reasons that that the studs are made the way they are. This would actually add substance to the thread and answer the ops question rather than useless, devalued comments like "Google it" or "there is a reason for it" with no explanation. Smh.

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,460 Member For: 17y 22d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 11/10/16 12:11 PM Share Posted 11/10/16 12:11 PM The studs are M10x1.25 on one side and M10x1.5 on the other. The 1.5 end goes into the manifold and the 1.25 allows for a finer thread and more torque on the turbo side. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92537-make-own-studs-for-turbo-and-manifold/page/2/#findComment-1616193 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you need to remind people what the forum is here for. It's all good Brb welding my turbo on to save money on gaskets.
