Default Good bolts to use for turbo/adapter flange???

Alright well i have had to take my turbo/adapter plate/manifold apart a few times now because the bolts tend to come loose and fall out or break even with locktite. I just used some bolts i picked up from lowes/home depot... is there certain types of bolts or anything that are good with heat that i could pick up or anything that wont break or fall out?? THanks guys!!

Use some stainless bolts and lock washers or stover nuts.I put never seize on along with lock washers and dont have a problem with them backing off.
