No you do not need to buy new headstuds you can reuse those.

Doing the 1x1 method might be why your headgasket is blown.

For proper tune, you'll need wideband, boost controller and boost gauge. Hope you get the problem fixed. GL

I'd suggest, to see if the fan is actually operating, idle the engine and hang around the engine compartment until you see the fan on without AC.

i actually noticed that the fan doesnt turn on without the A/C on.....ill look at it again but i did notice that it doesn't go on when its idling....it must go on when im driving without the AC on or wouldnt my car overheat?
