Well some how managed to strip the drivers side top turbo to downpipe stud. 
Was putting the non catted DP's back on.
My wrenching skills are usually pretty good (done the DP swap close to a dozen times now). Guess my time was up.
I've read up on the horror stories of the SPD adapter installs. Going to try and remove the stud without removing the turbo (fingers crossed).
My question for you guys, what stud remover do you recommend?

This looks to be another common alternative:

Also open to other suggestions or tips.
Drenched the stud in PB blaster to sit over night and mapp torch is fueled up and ready to go. Plenty on alcohol on the ready as well... FML
