Default Head studs

Looking to upgrade my head studs, any recommendations? Trying to build on a budget so cost is a big factor. I'm wanting to upgrade my turbo from stock and later on like 50-60 hp injectors. Do I need to go with bigger head studs or just stronger ones of the same size?

I would just do the ARP 247-4202's that you torque to 125-130 ft lbs torque. They will hold plenty of boost if you want to run a 62 or 64 mm turbos

im looking for the 500-600 range, enough i can take it out and have some fun every once in awhile but still reliable enough and decent mpg for my daily driver.

I would say go ahead break down and get a whole new turbo, I am at that point now but you've got to pay to play..

Yes the mightydiesel head studs look lie there for me! And may take awhile to save for the turbo, just replaced the clutch and fixin to need tires wanna build this truck right and not just start throwing fuel into and hoping for the best.
