EBPV to turbo bolts

Anyone know the torque on these and should I use red locktite? It looks like they had red locktite on them before. I am referring to the seven bolts that hold the EBPV housing to the turbo. They were very hard to break loose from the old turbo.

Garrett recommends that you coat the first few threds of these bolts with anti-seize compound and torque 185 to 215 INCH-lbs.

The nickel anti-sieze is what I use on most stuff these days. Good to over 2000 degrees IIRC.

Thanks Guys, the reason I asked about the locktite instead of anti sieze is that we have virtually no rust here. Most places you can't get exhaust bolts out in one piece but here in the desert they like to fall out when you're not looking.

PS JOE the intake arrived today..Yes on Saturday! Thanks again!
