Easier to torque and that kind of stuff. Go to sears and get a set of metric 12pt sockets. If they dont fit may be a SAE never know they are funny sometimes.

thx for the reply. I can tell you for sure its not a 12pt on the compressor wheel. The exhaust turbine is a 12pt 15mm. But the compressor nut has waaay more pt's on it than 12. Im pretty sure someone mentioned it could be an SST from toyo. Although they also said this is what the original nut would be like, not a trimmed up wheel nut. Maybe they resused the original, if they did there goddamn retarded.
