Yes, lock washers are essential. Unless you are using self locking nuts. You can use plain washers with lock nuts. In jet engines, which are really big *** versions of a turbo, (or maybe a turbo is a small version of a jet engine...lol)...we use "jet nuts" which is a 12 point self-locking nut. For bolts, which of course can not be self locking, we use safety wire. In short....for non locking fasteners you need a lock washer, safety wire or cotter pin...for self locking hardware you are good with plain washer.
