What are these? "stage 8 locking turbo bolts"

Looks like you are ready for a turbo and sticks

what does the regulated return do? the locking bolts i got due to alot of people saying that after you tear apart the turbo, the bolts start backing out after time. figured what the heck, i am in the mood to spend, and dont like doing things twice.

Your sig shows you have the WW, it's a waste of money to get the ATS if you have WW. Spend it on something else, better injectors for fuel economy, Sperco intercooler etc.

It looks like you already did the Hutch mod, which gets the air out of the fuel. The regulated return equalizes the fuel rail like the CCK but also allows you to regulate the fuel pressure.

It is kinda like the HPX but for fuel not oil.
