you can go to lowes and get some round bar or square tubing. Where are you mounting your turbo? At one time i welded a bar across my frame in the front, then bolted the turbo to that. I connected the hot pipes with flex couplers so as to allow movement.

i was thinking about laying the radiator foreward like NavyDavidSS and mouting it in between the core support to get some solid points to attatch it to.

take a look at my sig link. Theres pictures of my setup in there. You can easily mount a square tube across your frame rails to support a turbo.
