support bracket for turbo???
Ok I have broke this damm thing for the last time, I recently got my car back from the shop and I noticed that after having the car for two days, that the support that holds the turbo has broken where the weld was placed. This would not be a problem but when this happens the manifold has too much play in it and begins the crack so basically there are two rods that connect to the turbo both of them are connected to the block( which I dont understand why) one goes from the bottom to the turbo and the other crosses over the other rod and then connects to the turbo. Please post pics of your setups so I can get some ideas
bracing is a really good idea but I don't understand how the manifold has 'play'. Put up a pic if possible.
I run a 3/16" X 1" mild steel bar from the bottom of the centersection to the block on my car. I plan on adding a brace that triangulates this by going from the same poit on the turbo up to the block just under the head.
