manifold studs broken
hey guys i was taking off the studs that go from the exhaust manifold to the turbo housing thing and they broke. as a result i got a pretty big exhaust leak. can i replace these with bolts from a 1g or something or what do i have to do? i dont want to have to take the whole turbo out. two of them broke on 1 side

Now once your clear I'd run a tap through the hole and replace the bolt with new bolt. I can't remember the exact thread size when I did this but I'm sure its somewhere on the forum just search it out.

Most likely you will have to take off the turbo to drill them out.
Happened to a tech at the shop once. Took a good half day to take off the manifold to reach all the bolts and drill out the broken stud and replace it.

Been there. A hard metal drill bit and some PB Blaster should get you through it. Drilling out the bolt with a regular bit is like pissing into the wind. Hopefully you can get it to unscrew.
