I would suggest to beef-up the turbo manifold somehow. The tubing does not look like it has a great wallthickness. And with the rotaryheat, combined with the weight of the turbo, together with the design of the manifold, will put al lot of stress on flange.
Not to mention the vibriations of the car running on the track.
Anyway, keep up the good work!

I will probably need to beef-up the manifold, but I don`t know how I will do it yet.

yea its common practice with cossie's and many other cars which have extravigant manifolds to accomodate for a big turbo. In your case you would probably be best to weld 2 in place, i.e. both from the same point on the turbo flange and one going to each exhaust port (like an "A" frame/ triangulation) for strenght.
It is also common to fit turbo supports like this http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?im...%3Den%26um%3D1 So you may what to have a think/look at how easy it would be to fabricate something simmilar.
Hope this helps
