your local subaru dealer should have them in stock, it's a common occurance for the nuts to weld themselvs onto the studs with the heat from the turbo.
Had one go on mine and i had to grind it off and get a new stud from subaru, (about £2.50 i think).
To fit it you will need a strong heat source such as a gas welding torch to heat the exhaust housing by the stud and then just remove with a set of grips and replace with the new one by winding it in with a new nut on it.

Good luck

You can usually miss the odd one if you need to

The high pressure side is uppipe to turbo, the downpipe side is at about 1/10th of the relative pressure and less critical.

Stevey, u will def need to heat the exhaust housing up to get the new stud in, it's the interferance fit between the stud and housing that's SUPPOSED to hold it in!
Unfortunatley as most people who mod theese cars themselfs find out the theroy does not always work!
