That photo makes the wheels look huge and the occupants tiny. Quite a funny photo.

The most effective solution, for turbos with enough space around the holes, seems to be drilling for M10 hardware. I'd also be looking at bracing the turbo down to the block so not all the weight is hanging off those four bolts. After those options you've got Inconel, locking hardware, safety wire etc.
Good steps, I went to m10 with 8.8 bolts and nuts, there wasnt much room so the heads got some customising to fit...I wanted to drive the car and the fastner shops were out of inconel, Ill need to revisit the bolts and have a better go.
