My Jeep doesn't have a turbo or supercharger, but I have had experience with turbocharged vehicles in the past so here's my 2 cents:

If it were me I'd stick with the OEM head bolts and gasket. If you run into another over-boost incident you want those to be the "weak link" in the system. They're cheaper to replace than heads or pistons. If you don't have anymore over-boost issues, then you should be fine and didn't need to spend the extra money anyway.

Ok thanks bro yeah before I was really hitting it hard trying to see how much boost I could squeeze out now I just want to repair it and own the trails again.

Just in case anyone ever runs into this thread, I spoke with arp and will get a quote for custom studs. I will let you guys know how much cheaper it is to buy strait from the source.
