BOV OEM bolt size?

I have a boost leak because of my Boomba BOV not being fully secure and I cant tighten the bolts because they are stripped. So i ordered the GFB DVX BOV but it did not come with bolts. I believe I'm supposed to use the OEM bolts but i do not have them on hand.

Does anyone know where i can buy them or what the OEM size BOV bolts are?

Thank you

Are the bolt heads themselves stripped or what you are screwing into stripped?
Not good if the threads are stripped out of the turbo.

Those tools would've been really helpful when changing out the stock BPV. I used a standard length (5 or 6 inch long) ball-end Allen Key, and a pair of vice grips, which worked fine. I tightened them the same way (being careful not to over-tighten them) and used a drop of blue threadlocking compound, as the bolts that were installed from the factory had the residue of threadlocking compound on them.

I just installed a turbosmart a couple of weeks ago and I think I still have my OEM bolts lying around... If you're willing to toss a few bucks my way for shipping and share your address with a stranger, I'll ship them your way.

I missed the part where England was a thing. Whoops.
