X2. You can see a pic of mine also. I've had no nuts backing off with these studs, worth every penny.

I don't know if you have or not, but I would add ARP exhaust manifold studs to you list Jim. The stock studs are ok but can break easily when removing and from added weight. I feel they aren't bad to have for extra insurance.
Also did atp just wrap the turbo and manifold or did you do more than that?
Thanks

Not sure of the stud numbers but Ptuning can recommend some, and you can order from them. They just did manifold and turbo. Shipped into them and they wrapped everything with about a one week turnaround time.

Here's a link to the ARP SS exhaust manifold studs we sold to our s2000 customers.

Motor mount is in. Not too bad. Aligning the bolt was the trickiest part. Took about 70 min.
I decided to get the manifold and turbo wrapped by atp. I'm shipping in a few days.

Your build thread is looking great so far. It's nice hearing other owners chiming in with useful information too. Good choice on going with the ATP inconel wrap. It's not cheap, but definitely the way to go if you want that all out build. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of ceramic coatings, turbo blankets, or fiberglass heat wrap. Neither option looks good on a hard driven car with real miles put on it. The inconel shields do a fantastic job, look OEM, and retain their good looks over time.
BTW, if you have ANY questions or concerns whatsoever on the installation process or any other aspect of the turbo system, please feel free to call us during business hours, Mon-Sat. We're looking forward to the final results.

Thanks toan. I appreciate it.
Bumper off. Oil pump and inner cooler brackets on. Oil cooler on. About 90 min.
Shipped manifold and turbo to atp. Ordered a manifold gasket. ( ptune no longer includes it with the kit )
Picking up thread sealant tonight. So far so good.
