found this interesting, he sent me a message back saying they have a spiral pattern on them where n/a ones dont, and n/a ones will "snap" if used on a turbo engine lol, seems like a load of crap to me! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VL-TURBO-HEAD...QQcmdZViewItem (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VL-TURBO-HEAD-BOLTS_W0QQitemZ130016636257QQihZ003QQcategoryZ102356QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Yes it is a load of ****. Some bolts do have the spiral on the shaft, but it's not a turbo/non-turbo thing.
