good lock washers should solve the loosenning, the turbo bolts aren't the only one's that are put under stress of heat and cooling. All others that i have seen only have used lock washers. My truck's turbo only uses that as well.

Now the only thing i could see that could be an issue is the metal thebolts are maid of, if their thermal characteristics make it expand/stretch at a different rate than the cast iron of the turbo, which means we all would need to get new bolts to match our hot side of the turbo material...

food for the mind.
