I'm looking at the ARP studs, according to the writeup they mention 75lbs capacity for torquing. Would I be right in saying that I just follow the manual with regards to everything other than the torque.... or will there be a different set of instructions with the studs?

Scott, I've been running a turbo blanket with my precision turbo for 3 years now.

 

Probably nothing to worry about given how hard I'll be driving the car but I can only go with what other people have said regarding the shortcomings of the precision turbos. I'm not one to argue with Ryan G

That looks a little toasty. Some heatshields I have seen in a lot of builds will do nothing to combat that sort of heat anyway.

They come with their own special molybdenum grease and instructions for installation and torque settings. I always torque rod bolts to a stretch figure, rather than a torque figure, but you can't do that with studs in blind holes, of course.
