Turbo question
As soon as all my parts get here I will be installing the RiffRaff CCK and WW.
I also plan to do up pipes as they are leaking like crazy. While I've got it open, I am going to do the .50 mod and retorque under the valve covers, as well as foil delete. I figure I will need to pull the turbo to do the up pipes so I may as well do an O-ring kit and do it right.
My question is.........Should I replace the turbo bolts just as a matter of course, and what, if any, locktite should I use?

I don't think you need new bolts. I reused mine last year, and it's been leak-free all this time. And I didn't use any Loctite on the two hold-down bolts. Just on the housing bolts. Blue on the compressor side, and red on the exhaust side.
