Default hot side cracking

just like the title says is anybody having trouble with hot side pipes cracking. seems like a lot of weight hanging off the manifold bolts. especially the front mid mount turbos. i plan on making some bracket to help with the weight, but figured i would ask all of y'all that have already done it.

If pipework runs are long, then the turbos should always be supported, and pipework have an ability to expand/contract without restriction.
