Are you taking manifold to head too? If so then the stock once still work fine. As far as the turbo just swing by any exhaust shop and ask for I think 10mm, can't remember the thread pitch. It's a common stud so they will have them. I just got them a bit long and cut them to length.

i know...they hooked me up and gave me the bolts for free...all except for the turbo studs...just went to advance auto and bought 4 regular headstuds, 2 of which had to be cut down and one wouldnt even work because the bolt is so close to the turbo it can stick out more than a half in. past the back of the turbo flange....and i dont reccomend cutting bolts witha dull hack saw....
