Well, it's worse than I had hoped, and now there's no chance of driving the 
car to the ALMS at Seca (I'll be there anyway :) ...  BOTH #2 exhaust studs 
have snapped off, and the manifold is visibly warped-once I got the turbo out 
I could see the # 2 gasket hanging halfway out of the port, and a gap of 
about 2mm between the head and manifold at the flange.  Then I noticed the 
large crack in the baffle at the outlet :(
It was about that time that my buddy started whispering "Stage 2...Stage 
2..."  Thanks so much for all the replies + help...I'm not sure yet if I'll 
source a new one or go with the 2 piece 200tq part... I'll keep ya posted.  
As long as I can have it at Sears Point in November for the QCUSA school I'll 
be happy :)  Thanks again!

    '83 UrQ (stage 1, 2, or stock? I dunno where to go with this...)
