Question Need to add supports or is it fine???

Ok clearanced the turbo by way-laying the crap out of the framerail....have about an inch clearance from the turbo and the framerail now... I had to beat on the passenger side framerail from the front gusset to the rear gusset and even broke the weld on the rear gusset....

NOW the question is:

"How will my car be affected?"

Will my mod job affect the intergrity of my car or will it not be affected?

Should I have braces welded in?

Thanks guys:

dont need the frame supports because the turbo is too big....do I need them due to me having to clearance the the frame rail and it possibly being weak....

But in a round about way the huge *** turbo caused that situation.....nothing wrong with that though haha

I'd probably at LEAST go back over those welds taht you said split
