I drove on the exhaust leak for about 40 minutes, it blew on my way home. I was under the impression that the stock cast manifold flange would not warp though?, I'll check it anyway though once I take everything out.

I bought these: Circuit Sports Turbo Inlet Stud-Nut Combo [ CS-EXstud ] - Enjuku Racing - Performance Parts and High Quality Fabrication because mine kept coming loose too even WITH the factory locking tabs in place (not 100% sure I put those tight enough though).
I also put two nuts on each bolt (one set of locking nuts as well as seen in picture) which, along with getting new motor mounts, seems to have solved my problem. |

I'm in the process of removing my turbo again tonight to try to get this resolved once and for all. EDIT: Looks like those nuts from McMaster did the trick......I'll be using those from now on! Thanks

I had an issue with the nuts on my turbo elbow that connects to the down pipe coming off and ended up getting jam nuts and lock-tight and it hasn't came loose since.
