They make stainless steel ones. I think slowboy sells them. I've heard that they work pretty good.

OEM will work fine, BUT if you want:

Are the stock studs a dealer only thing?

Well I got one of them out , 2 other studs I broke a reverse bit into , son of a...................

so I gave up and bolted my new 14b turbo I got from the junk yard.

Before when I had my other turbo (the bad turbo) my engine would sound like a weedwhacker past 4000, figured it was just my bad turbo.

Now I put on the 14b I bought from a junk yard, boosts just fine to 10 pounds but it still sounds like a weed whacker past 4000. I boost just fine to 10 pounds plus I pull 20 inches of vaccum at idel when warm so I figure there must be a vaccum leak between the turbo and the MAS, would that be a correct assumption?

I bought the stainless steel exhaust and intake manifold studs from them. Best price I found on the net and included shipping. Highly recommend.
