#108872, "Exhaust bolts: Bolt on Vband adapter to turbo: keep backing out"

I keep having an issue where my exhaust bolts keep backing out. they are the bolts holding my V Band adapter to the turbo... Ive tried Loctite.. no go, after an hr or so of driving and a little boosting, i notice the bolts have backed out a little, and cause a leak, i can see my wide band ditch lean b/c of the extra air...... The gasket is an "perma seal" aka aluminum gasket.. paper always fall apart.

I used the high strength high temp locktite..

They are a beveled bolt, with a flat head, so using lock washers isnt an option.

any tips?

here are the parts (minus that 90 degree bend)
