The weight of that turbo, one bolt alone would hold it. It just wouldn't stay in place for long
I don't know why they wouldn't suffice, it was just a feeling. Not necessarily the bolts but the fact that they are all on a small flange supporting a much bigger "mass" if that makes sense. The standard K14 setup has much more evenly distributed fastening points.

Heh, thanks, I'm trying to be as detailed as possible to give people an idea of how to do it. If it turns out okay I might make a guide.
