im having a hard time finding studs for my bottom mount turbo mani. so my main question is would it be possible to use reg bolts instead of studs to bolt my turbo manifold to my turbo (its a sr t25)

i really doubt it, there isnt much space around that area to fit bolts. that is the point of the studs, the lack of room to insert bolts. did you break a stud or something? happened to me after a road trip

just go to phase2motortrend.com and order OEM studs, they are heat treated and grade 8 i believe. don;t put flimsy POS studs, bolts don't have any room to go in btw.
