I don't know if this has happened to anyone else but when we removed the bolts holding the dump pipe on, on the front turbo 3 out of 4 of the bolts snapped? They look like the standard bolts as they are the same as the other turbo.
what sort of bolts should I get to replace them so that this doesn't happen again? I don't know much but I have heard about High tensile bolts I think they were called?
thanks

it's not unheard of - 10+ years of being heated to a couple of hundred degrees then cooled again has it's effects on steel
you can get high tensile bolts, which will last longer... but just getting regular bolts will give them another 10 years.
