What do you have to remove exactly to tighten them all up? My rattling is on its way back and I want to replace bolts+gasket to get this sorted once and for all!
Can I just remove the top part of the tip? And is the heatsheild that flat piece of metal?
I need to get that black pipe and metal bit in front of it out the way:

Sorry Kriso not been on here in a while... Basically you need to remove the heat sheild, yeh the flat metal at the back. No need to remove the 90 degree pipe or the heat sheild wrap at all.
No need to undo anything in that picture.
This is held on by 1 nut on either side.
So I remove the top of the tip but find the tip is still in the way so I completley remove this, undo the nuts at the back of the heat sheild and then you can get to the bolts. I purchased grade 4.4 I think stainless steel bolts, new gasket, and spider (shake proof) washers.
(Touch wood) This has lasted so far.

Just had some good news for once... after repeatedly having issues with these bolts i've just recieved a call from my dealer volenteering to replace the turbo under warranty. the thought being that because it keeps having new bolts and tightening etc etc the thread will be nackered. whoop!
Gonna try some of these too

The rattle has been back recently so today I took another look at my bolts. One of them was about 6-7mm loose so I must have been losing some boost. I replace the 2 I could get to with new bolts and Nordlock washers and tightened them right up. Turbo seems to spool up quicker now and I'm back to full power
In theory, the Nordlock washers won't ever come loose, but I'll wait and see. I'll have to do the 3rd bolt sometime too.
Here's a pic of the new and old bolts and washers:
