Thanks for posting, that should do the trick.New inconel studs, nuts and these should sort the problem.

The nuts come loose because of the constant expansion and contraction of the studs, nuts, manifold and turbo caused by the huge temperature changes from cold to hot and back and forward and so on.......... The studs and nuts soften, stretch and move.

You could try to source Ti squash nuts. Unlike normal squash nuts that lose their spring after a few times getting hot. Ti is less likely to soften with the temperature and will retain its spring better locking onto the studs.

Make sure the studs are locked so they don’t come loose and you will still need to re-torque the nuts occasionally if the studs are stretching.
