nuts for turbo

does anyone know where i could get some stainless steel nuts for the o2 housing studs and turbo inlet studs. all i could find was autozone automotive nuts that if installed will never be able to be disasembeled. i'm planing on putitng cooper anti seize on them. the oem nut for the dealer are 11 dollars a piece, thats 44 dollars for 4 nuts and they are not even stainless.

Did you find 'em yet? I need to do the same...
As long as you're replacing/ordering stainless,
not many people know to replace the exhaust studs as well. My stock ones began popping and it made for a much more difficult replacement, I had to borrow a stud puller set and then it was a breeze.
Don't forget to douse it several times way before hand with liquid wrench,
I had a shop tackle it and they twisted the nut off and put the wrench thru the radiator to boot!!!! I'm scaring myself again!!

but the stainless looks SO MUCH better than the rusty stock studs/nuts
I wish I had done it the first time I had them loose.
I think I found 'em at http://gruppe-s.com/
you have to call 'em, its not on their site
