Default Rear Mount Turbo Support

I tried a search and didnt come up with anything. What are people doing for a support for rear mounts? I am not really comfortable with just the piping supporting everything. Pics would be great. I have an idea for a support, but would like to see what others are doing.

I have a triangle bracket fabbed up by a local exhaust shop mounted to the old exh hanger spot on one end, and the intake side of the turbo on the other.
I got it done after having a few people tell me they could see the turbo bouncing as I drove.

hard to tell from looking at it on my phone, but it looks a lot like an exhaust hanger you can get from the auto parts store

possibly, seems like a pretty sturdy bracket that is easily adjustable but in reality any regular exhaust hanger/mount will work
