What does it take to install the studs so you can run up to 50psi safely? I tried searching, but it says it was disabled. WHat do they do for you?

 

They provide a better clamping force on the headgasket. You also don't have to clean the threads whenever you pull the head. With studs and an o-ring you should be able to hold 60-70 psi.

 

they are made of stronger material the stock studs stretch and let the gasket blow. i've never installed a set yet soi i dont know what it takes.if i were you i'd get the head o-ringed and get studs or if you are only going to go to 50psi you can get by with a marine gasket and a stud kit. don m has a good stud kit and so does haisley machine

 

With Comp & DD 2's you won't get to 50 psi. Never get there with stock turbo, so assume you are looking at new one?
Agree you should be ok with just studs at 50 psi. I believe Don M. has the latest & greatest...more important...the longest lasting! He can tell you for sure best way to go.
