Also I don’t know if it has head studs or just the bolts, is that something I should be worried about with this turbo set up?
It's easy to tell whether you have bolts or studs by looking. Bolts will have a solid head, while studs will have threads sticking up above the nut. You should be fine with your current set up. Most of those made about 8-10 PSI. The later ones like the ATS 093 and the second gen Banks Sidewinder (both of which are wastegated) will make in the 12 PSI range of boost. With that much boost, you'd definitely want to start thinking about studs.
isspro if you want top shelf
AutoMeter is another good, higher quality brand.

Just a FYI, here's a picture of the studs on my 7.3 and a ATS 085 air cleaner.

True i had forgot about them, summits house brand is good too
I have some of those from Summit and I am not impressed. They work fine and seem reliable, but at night I can't read the gauge. They did not put any flourescent paint on the needles, so when the backlight of the gauge is lit, you can't see the needle at night, only the shadow of the needle and that takes some time to figure out, time you don't have while driving down the road. I bought them about 6 years ago, maybe they are improved by now.

They are fine and readable during the day.

@IDIBRONCO So I am up here working on the truck. Power steering pump got broke from a buddy trying to pry on it and come to find out the pulley itself is bent to all heck as well. I can’t find anything on finding a new pulley anywhere. Anything I can look up to find a cross reference or is there one they manufacture that fits?
