Greddy turbo bolts coming loose
I've got a greddy manifold, the bolts keep coming loose,I've tried fancy nordlock washers and spring washers but its still happening. It seems now the threads are going in the manifold as well, I will be drilling them and fitting a helicoil, is there anything else I can do?

Research "Thermal Creep." That is what is happening to your bolts. That will also eventually happen to ordinary steel studs used in this application (remember that the exhaust studs on the head get water cooled -- not so for the turbo studs). This is a materials science problem.
10mm mild steel exhaust studs will last longer than your 8mm bolts, but are not a permanent solution.
