Head studs are good up to 40psi of boost however that is with proper tuning. You also have to think about your PMR's.

Why the ATS? Check out the price, WOW! A heck of a lot more than their competition.

How about the TN BB? Almost a grand cheaper than the ATS.

i would NEVER buy an ATS turbo. Judging by the quality/finish of their housing for the stock turbo it would be a POS. I sent my first one back it was soo bad.

How about you tell us your future plans?
