newb greddy questions
hi all i hope you dont mind these questions, im sure you have all heard them before but i find it easier to have all the info in one place, got a few Q's
1. people say to upgrade the greddy supplied bolts/nuts. should i just get the stainless equivalent or are there nuts/bolts i need to replace with studs?
2. the actuator rod, do i just adjust that only enough to stop the rattle?
3. bov. can i use one and if so what type and where do i fit it, i think it goes to the 30-40mm pipe at the throttle body end of the crossover pipe?
thanks in advance

1.Stainless doesn't matter get grade 8.8 metric bolts preferably heat treated, my local Ace has them for 2.50 apeice
2. Yes unless you wanna make more boost.
3. You can but do not need to i would leave it out of your build until you understand more about the turbo process. Then you can add it later as it will require some custom modifications.

If you have the stock GReddy Vortech FMU, you'll need a disc set to adjust it. The stock disc is 12:1 which is fine for low boost but it'll run pig rich. If you plan to up the boost past 6 psi, you'll need an 8:1 or 6:1 disc which you can order from Vortech.
Better yet, dump the Vortech and pick up a BEGi.
