Bolts get loose on turbo flange
The bolts that connect the turbo to the header seems to get loose with the heat. I've tried stacking an extra nut on each bolt as a lock nut. I'm thinking of switching the bolts to fine thread. Any ideas?

are you using locking nuts?
I just went down to the local P-car shop and they had them. They were either copper or brass, cant remeber. make sure you dont use regular metal bolts b/c they will get stuck.

The lock nuts are steel, but they're copper coated. I haven't had one loosen, but just to be safe I replace them rather than reusing.

My car had the two rear nuts linked. There was not 4 nuts, but 2 nuts and 1 special part that looked like 2 nuts joined together with a piece of metal.

I used 'Stover' nuts from the local Mid-State Bolt and Screw place. They are crushed/ovaled nut that is basically a lock nut. Of course I used flat washers as well.

That's how K nuts work too.
