Hey guys,
I went to take the turbo off the manifold so that I may pack it up to sell it when I was loosening one of those nuts, for some odd reason, the damn stud just snapped. The other three are alright. I tried to get the stud out with vise grips(didnt work) and dremeling a notch in it to screw it out(didnt work) any ideas? and I was wondering if anyone knew where I can get replacements for the stud and nut. Thanks guys.

Most automotive stores will have studs, just take in the piece and they should be able to match it up. Good luck.
 
The experts would just put a torch to it and slowly unscrew with a vice grip. That's what my mechanic did for me....your lucky your stud is sticking out....bring it to a shop. Jeez it seems to be impossible not to snap one these it seems.
