Compressor lock nut help

So the other day I was driving my car, I floored it and it wouldn't spool. So I lugged it back into town and found out that the lock nut had came off. As luck would have it the nut came off and didn't touch the wheel. I found it in the intake tract. Well I don't figure I'll have such luck again so I how to I keep the nut from coming off? What are the torque specifications? Can I use lock tite? Also I do believe that compressor surge made the nut come off.

idk much about turbos, but locktite won't hold up to that temperature, i'm sure its a certain lock nut, and i'm sure the torque spec is probably in the FAQ

btw, you got LUCKY where the nut ended up
