Default Turbo bolt options?
I'm having hassle with the turbo to manifold bolts on my Saph.
Basically they keep falling off!

I've got the Inconel bolts in the lower section, and since fitted that area is no hassle at all, but is there a similar option up here?

I was thinking adding in Nord lock washers..... Any other ideas?

Cool. Would you need a set at the bolt head end, and the nut end too?
Or just one set?

Aeroloc nuts I think they are called.

Cool, ordered some Nord lock washers.

Aerotight nuts look interesting. Is there a decent uprated bolt that would go with them? They don't seem to sell any!
