Default Manifold to turbo bolt keeps falling out - Will threadlocker red take care of it?

I have a bolt that has fallen out twice. The first time I noticed the missing bolt was 8 hours into a 12 hour trip, just after getting a new block installed. So, I had an extra one and some tools with me, so I put another one in. Four hours later I'm home and it's missing again. Any tips to keep it from falling out?

Loctite is only good for about 250*.You can safety wire it or use a sheet metal lock tab.Stage 8 may have something you can make work. http://www.stage8.com/

Do you any of you guys ever torque the bolts? I used all M10 bolts and torqued them to 60ft/lbs. Never came loose.
