I just don't want to look one day and see only 2 bolts barely holding the turbo up (happened to me on the Talon, and is the reason I safety wire them now). They can probably loosen a half turn, but the bolts wont fall off which is my main concern.
Oh okay, that makes perfect sense actually. Sorry for being a doubter!
