stud keeps snapping on turbo

[ND04]

one of the studs holding the turbo on keeps snapping this is the third time now ive had the k-tec uprated mounts with dog bone mount fitted thinking this would solve any engine movement and the problem but still happening anyone got any ideas

[ND04]

also have you still got the spring loaded bolts on the downpipe to cat/decat? if this is bolt soloid thats not going to help either.

Just thought I would check before he has a "flexi joint" welded into his exhaust, I can't believe ktec would just keeP replacing snapped turbo bolts if the spring loaded bolts where not there!
