Ok - next question
Lets assume my turbos have a support welded to the frame (motor is solid mounted) will the expansion of the steel hurt because both ends are solid mounted?

layout will be just like my old setup, in this picture

only difference will be much bigger turbos, and the passanger side turbo will be a little higher to help clear the frame for oil return fitting.
You can see in this picture where it would be easy to weld a mount to the car frame to support a turbos weight

So when the stainless steel expands, there is no room for it to grow if its all welded together but with a slip fit joint it will expand and contract without damaging the headers.

more precisly the tbes may expand and contract where if they were welded solid on the colector they will stress and crack from the expansion and contraction caused by the heating and cooling cycle
on a slip fit the joints slide into each other and has some allowabvle play for the expansion and contraction
