No seriously, stop ******* suggesting this because it's totally wrong and you're a retard for even thinking about it. If I were a moderator, I would literally ban people for suggesting Nordlock washers.

All I know is that a ******* mazdaspeed miatas' turbo doesn't come loose every 2000 miles, so mine shouldn't ******* come loose either. I may call my dealership and see what the factory uses to cure this prob... (and no i'm not paying 100 dollars for a fastener/stud assembly.

yep i've done all that you said. Torque the studs into the manifold and no telling how many times I have retightened them. I'm going to look into the 8mm fm solution. if I have to drill and re-tap my assembly for 8mm fasteners, i'll do just that

Yah what do oems use for their turboes? Why do the audi and subie and srt4 turoboes not fall off on te streets everywhere? Why are the turbie studs we put in not secure? What have the protoges with turboes done? How does porche do it?
Would it really be the bad thing if I tack weld my turboe to my manifold? Assuming it is fitting why would this be bad? Seriusly guyz.
