thats all well and good. but you dont have to get studs. bolts work just as well and are a little cheaper in price, not quality. but if you wanna spend the extra $13 bucks have at it, its a good idea but not mandatory, as long as your holes are in good condition.
as far as a rebuild goes, your best bet is to find a local relabile shop. not a custom tuner shop that the kids go to but a real machine shop that specializes in turbo's. like a semi truck facility. should only run you around 250 if its in decent shape. if not your better off buying a new one or "refurbished" from a reliable dealer. that will cost you around 5. usually your local shops will take it in and have a look to see if its rebuild able or not.
