Another one was to use a stud heater to heat the stud up after you had screwed the nut down tight. Then once the stud grew in length from the heat. You turned the nut down again. Counting the number of flats on the nut you turned. If you couldn't turn the number of flats needed. You kept heating the stud up until you could.

That's one "Huge-Turbo"

It's always fun when the nuts and bolts weight more than you do.
