has anyone ever ACTUALLY blown their headgasket due to streatching head bolts on anything less than a 30psi gt35r? ive read about arp studs messing up with the "one at a time" method, but never actually read that the stock studs stretch.

More likely is people over torquing the studs....doing this will not give extra clamping force as people tend to believe but only brings the bolts closer to tensile yield as the aluminum head expands...
Where did you hear about any problems with replacing the head bolts with ARP headstuds?
i just assumed that it was the thing to do as lots of people making semi-high power are running them. If you guys dont think they are nessacary then ill sell my studs and bolts.

I would think that one can probably get the same whp by getting hard intake pipes to/from the intercooler (and intake to the turbo) and then retune for the higher boost increase with those. That would be $250-$300 and one wouldn't have to worry about the labor charges (which are drastic for changing out that turbo).

You're making the hotside install a lot harder than it really needs to be. Installing one looks like it would take around the same amount of labor as doing an ic pipe install.
