have you guys tried using like aircraft lock wires? my friend had the same issue with his turbo k20 honda and ended up drilling the turbine housing and using grade 8 allen bolts with the locking nuts like the ones with the deformation in the metal then he safety wired through the heads of the allens since they are pretty easy to drill.
im still not sure thats a final solution but its worth a shot before you drop the cash for a vband setup which in the end is the best solution.

No, sorry guys.
I was up till 2am getting my car ready but didn't get the new motor broken in till i got to the track friday morning. Wasn't tuned, couldn't drive it hard.
The good news tho. The one nut without resbond and without being a stage 8 failed first session still. The rest held tight all day.
