I want to hear your input on studs/gaskets for a stock block turbo setup.

That's not true. I took the 100K mile plus LQ4 in my turbo truck apart and there still fairly tight considering. The rings don't wear as much as most people think. If I recall the top ring was still .016. even after a light ball hone.
I bent 2 rods in the direction of the wrist pin which damaged the bottom side of the piston when it kissed the counter weight at the parting line. I decided since there is no sign of detonation and it appears to be running clean, I would just slap it back together with 2 replacement pistons and rods and re-use the rings and bearings in there respective holes.
Block had to come out for cam bearings any way so it got a light ball hone in all the holes as well

On 4PSI that barely made a difference...
Actually #2 and #4 cam bearings had the lube holes blocked. Was also starving the lifters.
It has new cam bearings, a new baby cam, new lifters, and some yellow springs now...
You could buy it back and let it sit at your place...
