Just wait until you have the exhaust manifold gasket blow out, just happened to mine... took me about 12 hours with an acetylene torch and right angle drill to get all the broken exhaust studs out... but she is back together and riding like new with 219k miles. You should get a map gas torch at least, make it easier to get rusted stuff apart. I put all the new exhaust studs in with anti seize so I can actually service the turbo and manifold easier next time.
Great job!
Appreciate it 💪🏽

Happened to me when I was rebuilding it exhaust stud broke in the head got them out installed new studs and nuts
Nice, yea mine were really stuck I had to torch every stud red hot or else it was trying to take the aluminum threads out with it.@@KAYSOSMOOTH
Yup it’s a shitty job forsure man hopefully I won’t have to get back there anytime soon
Mine was a nightmare to do too 😂 i couldnt do it without dropping the axle
Frfr man horrible spot hopefully I don’t gotta go back down there 😂
also beware, my s40 didnt like my blowoff valve, constantly went into limp mode until i adjust the preload.
