Two broken studs in exhaust manifold!

Well after snapping two studs off during my engine replacement, I took the exhaust manifold to a local shop and they were able to turn out one of the studs but the other one broke further down on them... What are my options? I have a third hole that needs drilled and tapped, then this one that is broken off deep in the hole

are the studs to the engine or turbos? if turbos just chunk the manifold and purchase a set of used turbos with a new one. i got three laying around.

take it to a machine shop they might be able to take the stud out of the exhaust manifold. they will drill into the stud and then use a chisel to collapse it onto itself. the stud is probably seized with the exhaust manifold and you might lose a few small pieces of the thread with it.
