Can you get them from the dealer? I really like ARP products myself and if you give them a call they'll let you know what you need. The next best thing is usually OEM. At least this is true for the top 3 Japanese car manufacturers. Not sure if this is true for you.

The turbo bolts on my car are by far better than grade 8. In fact, when people use grade 8 instead the parts will come loose and the fasteners end up getting stuck or completely destroyed when it comes time to remove them most often turning the threads in the turbo to crap.

In terms of look, feel, weight, and most likely strength, our OEM fasteners are somewhere btw grade 8 and ARP's chromoly material.

How about a call to a local speedshop. I know ExtremePsi on Rt1 has a few fasteners that you might be able to adapt.
