Usually daily driving / wide open throttle for 10-20 seconds at a time doesn't really affect the bolt coming loose as much.
With this car, it's always boosting and staying at a higher temp. (around 1000-1500 degrees Fahrenheit and above 4000 rpm for 10-20 mins at a time) On top of that, I'm shaking the car left and right going through the turns. This puts a lot of stress on all of the turbo parts.
My turbo to manifold bolt loosening was actually caused by one of the broken tabs (oem locking tab) that hold the nut in place. I should have safety wired them looking back.

Thanks for the suggestion but I've welded the flanges now so it shouldn't come off. (hopefully) if it does, make sure to tell me "I told you so"
