Angry Broken Studs

After changing out my spark plugs I was putting my intake elbow back on and managed to break off the bottom right stud . I was just wondering if anyone has any idea what to do to try to replace the stud? Where to get the stud? Is it reverse or standard threaded into the throttle body? Has anyone else ever done this and managed to fix it?

YES! I actually broke all but one of mine and stripped out the throttle body pretty good.
Here's my story:

Now mine is very very tight and good.

No shiet!

I just broke mine too last week! I was *removing* mine when is snapped (upper right hand). I freaked out because I never had replaced a stud before. I lost a good pound or two of boost and my idle is a couple 100 rpm higher. Stilll need to get it fixed...

off the subject but read

Hey guys this is a little off the original question but it might help some of you out. Try changing your plugs from under the car. It is a lot easier then bending over the fender. You don't have to remove anything and the plugs are really easy to get to. THere is a whole right under the plugs. I guess if you don't like climbing under the car this might not sound good.
