OK here is the deal. Im going to sell my truck but its going to be atleast the first of next year. So I dont wanna drop the cash on o-rings and stuff like that but I wanna be able to run more boost may be buying another turbo. So If I buy another turbo I will run nitrous so will just studs work for me? Not a huge shot bust 75 maybe. So any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Kevin

 

Hey, try it. It the hg lets go than you'll know that just studs weren't enough.
After all its just a gasket.

 

If you just want a bandaid fix, might as well try overtorqued stock head bolts. Some shops have had great success with over torqued stock bolts.

 

I cant say yes or no. Depending on what turbo and how you drive it is a toss up. With nitrous I would say your chances of head gasket R/R are definetly increased.
