Just about to refit my turbo, its held on to the manifold by 3 M8 studs, How can i make sure they don't come loose? was going thinking about locktight but will it take the heat or is them coming loose not a real problem on diesels? i could also lock two nuts on

Go get some new nuts from pug? They look to be special locking ones.

You can get locking nuts that use a metal insert instead of the nylon so they dont melt, I used copper lock nuts on my manifold and they never came loose.
