^^^thats hardcore!
Here's mine

Taubr Unit

I opted not to go so hardcore on mine. Got a 45lb s480 turbo and sat fine on my Hotside with no brace so I welded on a tab off the t6 flange and bolted to the car. Gives it plenty of support to where I can stand on it plus on the sheet metal will allow for a tiny bit of flex to hopefully prevent cracking. Plus I have a mounting tab on my WG pipe also so it's got a "wide stance" bracing. VERY solid

If u brace it to car subframe does the twist of a hard launch affect any of piping on the turbo

Well if you brace it off the frame you wanna run flex joints which I'm doing whether I brace it of the motor or the frame. I have solid motor mounts too which will help.

Is that a modified or special exhaust housing on that turbo?

You can see both turbo braces here (attached pic). Have worked very well for 4 years.

It is a special housing on it. GT4780 T4 .96a/r with a 4-bolt round flange

Yeah, it looks like a .96, I just thought the down pipe area looked a little different.

if some people with rear mounted turbos could add some support brace pics that would be cool to see too.
