Large Turbo - how to support it? How are you guys physically supporting your large turbos?
This wasnt an issue with my small t70 but now that I have stepped up to a S series turbo I'm a bit concerned about hanging it from the manifolds.
Is moving the battery to the rear and using that area to mount the turbo about the only option?

i used a piece of angle iron with 2 holes in it...mounts to the passenger side head in the front....another piece on a flange that goes between the turbo and the merge pipe (from the headers to the turbo).....2 heim joints and a threaded rod....i would take a pic but wife has the camera...its ugly but works. It is STRONG...you can turn it by hand and watch it pick up the whole turbo!!!
you can see one piece of angle iron here and the gold colored threaded rod...the othe piece of iron sticks up kinda the same way on the head...pic someone else took
