 concern is a lack of knowledge of the proper way to install and tighten

 _know_ the proper procedure for use of the Raceware studs in an Audi turbo
 head?  I assume that you have to check the torque on them some time after
 the engine has been run, how many miles/hours?  TIA again!

    We have ARP bolts for the I5 at Eurospec, and they come with their own 
torqueing specs, not too different from stock specs.  The order of tightening 
is the same, BTW...and I think you retourque them after the motor has been 
run for about 100 miles or so... Javad
