Default Turbo Mounted to Frame from Comp Housing?

Hi Everyone. I see that a lot of people mount their turbos to the frame using the turbine side of the turbo or the hotside piping. Has anyone used the compressor housing bolts to fashion a hard mount bracket? I don't feel comfortable doing this since all of the weight will be hanging on the aluminum housing.

Any comments?

Mine has a small bracket on the compressor that bolts to the front of the motor. You gotta figure the crossover holds some of the weight as well.
