Depends on which engine you have as to which turbo is fitted....the lower powered ones, 85, 110 & 115 use a wastegate type, the higher powered ones 130 & 140 use a VNT type.

Good luck getting the nuts off...a good soaking with loose juice a few days before may help...but if they're badly corroded...they often get rounded off or snap the studs.

Can the studs be replaced? Worth ordering before?

115 will be a wastegate type...replacing the studs may be a good idea....but getting the old ones out can turn into a mare....if badly corroded, they usually just snap of flush.
