I didn't notice any places on my turbo or manifold to bolt it up for support. I noticed the factory exhaust manifold has three points for support, and the turbo is considerably heavier than the stock manifold. I was thinking this should be supported too, what should I do?

 

I'm assuming its cast iron? It really doesn't need any bracing - the stock mani uses the holes for the heatsheild. The bracing itself is typcally welded to the mani. Its the long tubular mani's that really need bracing - a lot more leverage is put on them compaired to a short cast or log maniold.

Basicly if it looks stronger than a ssautocrap manifold, it will last at least 100 miles Even some ssac's w/o bracing have been known to last at few thou miles w/o cracking.

 

get a flex pipe in the dp and you should be fine.

 

get a neukin manifold. that thing is beefy

 

The manifold is cast, and looks pretty strong... I was more concerned about the added weight on the cylinder head and the studs.
