Team HOTHOT!
what car is it for?
and which studs keep coming loose?
if its the turbo to manifold ones then you can get locking washers from ford that have tabs which fold over the edge of the nut to stop it vibrating loose

if this is on an escort turbo, i used to have the same problem over and over again on my old one, it's where the engine moves and used the turbo as a pivot point for the exhuast, i fitted a flexi to my exhuast and new diesel cradle mounts which helped a lot but every now and again, i'd still lose a stud 
in the end, Grove garage had my exhaust housing and elbow machined out to take 10mm studs and it never happened again, now they do all their turbo's this way straight away!!
Hope that helps!!
