well i'm finally about to install my turbo, i noticed (as many of you must have as well) that this beeeoch is heavy! have any of you guys braced your turbos? if so how did you do it? if not thow some ideas at me...this is going into a gsr powered civic so i dont have the larger gsr radiator (put in dual-core delsol rad)

or should i even be concerned? just seems like alot of weight hanging there, plus i'm concerned of cracking the manifold.

 

ne1?

 

My turbo is braced from the bottom of the compressor housing to the hole where the stock exhaust manifold used to be attached to on the front of the block.

 

mind taking some pics?

 

can u elaborate? what didu use material wise as a brace?

 

Yeah, I'll get some pics posted.

 

please do

 

Sorry Immortal, Last night I tried to get pics of it, but there is no way to get the camera to see in that tight spot unless I remove the downpipe. If you are in the South bay, your welcome to check it out at lunch or something. I work in Mountain View, but live in Milpitas.
