2G Use 4 studs for o2 housing - possible?

[smills1840]

I'm wondering if it's possible to use 4 studs to attach the o2 housing to the turbo. I always fight with the bolts, so I really want to replace them all with studs and nuts. Has anyone done this? Is there any weird fitment issues that I'll run into (like not being able to slide the o2 housing into position or something like that)?

I have a ebay tubular o2 housing with a stock 14b exhaust housing if it makes any difference.

Sure you can, knock yourself out. I've done it before, it does in fact work.

Been doing it for years on almost every turbo I install personally. Bolts going in and out of threaded holes regularly, especially holes that are heated to 1500*f+, is bad news.

Awesome, thanks. What length studs do you use Justin?
