Default Need pics of Turbo Braces.

Getting started on a new build with a 60# turbo & I need some ideas for building a bracket/brace for it. I tried searching but couldn't really come up with anything.

Proper way to do it is with a double slip merge collector( not those Vbands that will leak, and those flex section which will eventually leak, not to mention are terrible for flow). Then use a brace...

I know, it has been a while. Yeah I have a bigger single turbo I'm building a new kit for. Sold the old one about 6 months ago but I went through a divorce and that kinda slowed my progress down, just now getting back on track with it finally, lol. How you been Rodney?

Sorry to hear about the divorce. I moved on to the twins and only have been to the track once. My job has been killing me. There's too much work to do and not enough time. We'll also be moving up to VA soon

Thanks, well hopefully with all that working you can afford to put a little more into your car if you want to. I've been busy with the side work I do as well, never seems to slow down either, lol.

If only I was hourly, I'm in the navy. Hopefully when I get out I'll be making good money at a nuclear power plant though.

That certainly looks stout enough, thanks for posting your pic.
