Bolts will hold, for a fraction of the cost of 625s.

Thanks again for all of the input. I have no plans to add more power I will add a bigger turbo which will reduce drive pressure and should make it easier on the studs/bolts. I am not going to race I will pull a trailer quite a bit so long periods of high boost pressure. I just dont want to have to do it twice. I should prolly quit being a tight a$$ and get the studs.

It will save you money in the long run if you do studs now

do the studs better safe than sorry bigger turbo means more pressure and if you can save money now why not, that will save you from doing it all again
