997.1 new exhaust/turbo nuts

The nuts connecting the turbo to the manifold and the exhaust are looking pretty rusty, and before they get to the point where I can't get a socket on them, I'd like to replace them with some good stainless ones. Anyone know what size they are, or if I can buy a set somewhere other than the dealer?

I think they are 8mm by 1.25 or 1.5.

I just took mine off for an exhaust change, the ones from the turbo to the cats, on the lower outside corners were corroded and seemed like a smaller size. There was no right socket for them, I wound up cutting them off. My car had 15K miles on it too.
