[QUOTE=dsddcd,Aug 24 2008, 11:54 PM] Now, I am not sure exatly what temperature the turbo runs but I am sure most of us will not see a case temperature above 700F with an exhaust temperatures near 1200F.

I don't understand this. I have the ARP SRT4's manifold studs and just tightened them down real good and haven't had any issues in over a year.
Also, I think the ARP's nuts have a pitch in the threads that help to lock the nuts down to the studs once they are tightened to the flange. I've worked in aviation for many years and they use the same type of 12 point nuts and they work great.

The stock studs are my problem. ARP's probably would have worked too, but the Stage 8's where on the shelf at my local shop. I just wanted something I would never have to worry about.
