Recently had an ecoboost customer come in that had repair work previously done for a squealing noise. They replaced one side of exhaust manifold bolts but didn't replace the warped outdated manifold (that is the issue) and didn't bother touching other side that had broken stud as well. They also did not tighten the turbo bolts so the turbo to manifold surface was leaking as well.
He got ahold of us and we got him fixed up with updated ecoboost manifolds that are thicker and have 3 extra mounting holes to keep it from warping and breaking the back problematic bolt again. How it should have been repaired the first time.
