They are correct. I've yet to have him answer my question on the load issue.

You still haven't answered the question and I feel you have no answer.

Default Eric, the bolts can't back out, they would butt-up agains the inside of the turbo housing....
even if they came loose (VERY UNLIKELY), they wouldn't have anywhere to go....

You are incorrect and are wrong to falsly accuse without testing.

Default Anybody have pictures of the insides of the downpipes?
Sure looks purty on the outside. I'd like to see a picture of this "bolt", the welds around the sensors and the juction of the split halfs.

Default No need to go there. I know what Titanium bolts do at high temps. We use them
on the spacecraft satellite exclusively.
