It shouldn't matter, except for the lower rear stud which will need to be a short one.

I had to put a lock washer between the nuts, to keep them from backing off. But other than that this worked like a champ. I didn't bother to heat the metal around the stud either. Lot of PB blaster though.

Just took car for a spin. no exhaust leaks that I can see. The car boosts real quick to 6-7 psi then stuggles to get anymore--primary and secondary boost. I have a pretty good oil leak I need to resolve before I jump on the boost issue. Starts and idles great so I don't think its a compression issue.

The car is much louder and you can hear the turbos a lot more clearly. I am glad I went ahead and did this myself. It wasn't the worst job ever, but not something I would want to make a living at. I think next time will go much faster (if studs don't break).

Thanks for the help.
