Default Exhaust housing bolt conversion thing lol

Hi peeps, was just wondering whats involved in converting the normal nut and bolt job which holds the exhaust housing onto the turbo into bigger bolts....some of mine have snapped off again (about the 4th time now)

also what sort of bolts should be used?

thanx for any input

What exhaust you running out of interest??

I think lack of flexi joint is the main problem for bolts loosening/slackening off. but not to say it would resolve it.
