manifold nuts

[dub-disaster]

just wondering what nuts to use on my exhaust manifold studs as i had a nightmare trying to remove the old ones just wondering what to use as the new ones, the bloke in the vw parts department said they are just normal nuts that they list as being used. ive got some stainless ones from work but just wondering are copper ones better and if they are where can i get some from asap ?
     also same sorta question about the nuts to use on the downpipe from the turbo are these special nuts ? should i be using stainless or some sort of heat proof locking nut if i remember correctly ?

manfold nuts should be copper, I thought the ones from vw were copper?
