Well, if you haven't done it already, you might as well put in the new and improved turbo oil drain line, since the turbo is going to be off anyway.

IIRC, ARPs are to be torqued three times. The first to something like 80ft-lbs, the second to 160ft-lbs and the final to 245ft-lbs. I don't know the specs for the H-11 studs but I seem to recall them being a little lower.......
