Message	I have had turbo to downpipe studs break. Many times, I have seen the nut seize onto the studs, and the whole stud back out of the cylinder head. My recommendation is to spray them with something like PB Blaster or the Royal Purple Maxfilm and let it sit for several hours. Sometimes going forward and back helps to break them loose and reduces the risk for breaking studs.
