Turbo Stud to bolt conversion

[BigAirSkier1580]

Doing a whole load of work on my car. My Turbo to manifold gasket is missing half of the one side.

Went to go change it out, and I still had the stud in the Pass. front hole. I figured that the previous owner that had a 6bolt JDM swap done would of at least had that done, but alas. Now I know there is a way to replace that stud with a bolt to make things easier on down the road.

What's the process for this and what size bolt should I use? And can I get one somewhere other than a dealer this weekend?

Thanks in advance.

Once you remove the manifold, vice grips will be able to pull the stud out most likely, we welded a nut to the stud and used that..
Than just use a standard issue mitsu turbo bolt and youre done.

Mine wouldn't budge with vice grips until it saw PB Blaster for an hour. I strongly suggest just spraying the stud before starting.
