I just finish the manifold and the downpipe. I have ???? for the guys with big heavy turbos. Where do you guys brace the turbo. The manifold was made with Stainless steel but i dont think is strong enough to hold 40+++ pounds.

I made a plate that bolted to the water pump housing and then to the center of the turbo. Works good so far.

Header looks good BTW!
