Yeh. It has been done( there a pic floatinga roud here somewhere)
But why would youwant to do that went the holes are alreadyt made for the bolts
and then if the turbo goes bad you gotta get a new adapter for the new turbo

Open your yellow pages and look under "Fasterners" you'll find many places that you can call that will have the bolts you need locally as long as you live in a decent size city.
