We run two studs and two bolts but not sure on the size and thread pitch. Maybe caleb will chime in. The studs will have a coarse thread to go into ped and then a fine thread for the nut on top.

I run 4 studs. A small block Chevy exhaust manifold stud works perfect. Any speed shop should have them.

I run studs. Got them from mcmaster Carr. Can't remember the fcking size but they were cheap. I got a whole bag if you want some. PM me your address and I'll try to send you some.

Did you try taking the cartridge out? Just bolt the exhaust housing on then putting the turbo back together?

that's how I do mine too, I used to have an issue with one of the loc-nuts loosening too (hardest one to get to) and had to start using red loctite. The only way those suckers are moving is with the turbo out of the way and a custom wrench.
