OFI t6 test fit

**PICS ADDED OF TURBO SUPPORT***Im test fitting my OFI turbo kit. looks good, only issue is the down pipe. Dont know how its going to work with the stearing shaft...How did everyone else get it to fit?

The turbo is so heavy i didnt bolt it up without the support bracket. missing a vband on crossover.

What are you doing for the turbo support?

I like the idea of screw type hangers bolted to the heads. See attached picture.

You might want to consider fabricating your own turbo support. My kit came with one that didn't quite work correctly. A lot of work went into making the kit fit properly actually.

Good luck.

Did this bracket come with OFI kit? Or who made it?
