bolts keep backing out of hot side?!?!
Has anyone had problems with their bolts backing out of the hot side of the turbo? I have had to replace my gasket between the turbo and the downpipe 3 times now. And I can't figure out why they keep backing out.. Has anyone had this problem?

1) Use stainless steel bolts
2) Use thread lock (red 1)
w/ stainless steel bolts they expand when it gets hot. few of my friends had this problem and thred locked fixed that. also use lock washers!

i think i used 8 grade bolts, they hold fine. also, for the exhaust manifold and downpipe...order up a nut and stud kit from flamco-t (sp). great people to deal with and so far nothing has backed out on me. oh yeah everything is much easier to take off when i have to.
