Headstud/bolts

I'm planning to do the gasket for boost but is it advisable to also change the oem for ARP or the like headstuds/bolts?

I've seen good luck with both. My car has a 2mm using stock and I'm safely running 17psi. A buddy of mine has a 3mm using ARP studs and we have him at 21psi no problems. Sorry I can't say which is better.

Did you just reuse the oem or new oem?

reused the old ones, just follow the manual when you are tightening them.
