NEED HELP! SNAP a STUD!
Grr, snap another bolt / stud, nightmarish! but anyways i need help and i want this done by tomorrow and im not sure is it possible.
Well snap the stud to the coolant feed line to the turbo. the stud is on the block, im not sure is this replaceable and a quick way to fix it.
I was thinking about removing the stud and replacing it wit a bolt, will that work?

I've replaced them with bolts before. Use stainless, with plenty of anti-seize.
You can also just replace the stud. If there is enough room to grip it, then a set of Vice Grips will take it out (it just unscrews). If it's snapped below the surface of the manifold then you will have to drill and tap, which can be kind of scary if you have not done it before.

I don't recommend EasyOuts since they seem to break about 70% of the time. Now you have a super hard (high tungston) EasyOut in the hole as well...Try drilling that sucker out.

if you cant fit 2 nuts on there you can do this..
I welded a washer to the base of the stud then weld a bigger nut to the washer and the inside of the nut to the stud.. let it cool for a min and it should come right out.

If it leaks your engine WILL catch fire.
Coolant will fall on the turbo and evaportate leaving flamable "sugars" and eventually it will catch on fire.
I know this from experience.
File the broken off stud to the level of the manifold flange, center punch it and drill it out in steps to the tap size of the next stud size up and then tap it. Remove the other stud and drill it out to the new stud's tap size and tap it as well.
Now you don't have to worry about it catching fire or breaking another stud.
