Turbo Support/Braces

I plan on mounting my s480 right in the front center of the motor and am wondering what eveyone is using for a turbo brace to not have all the weight on the manifolds. I plan on using flex couplers so the turbo needs to be supported.

Thanks

Here's my junk. Just something I threw together with some metal I had around, but it works pretty well! That is a S480 as well. I'll try to snap another closer pic.

Just to add to this, where are people bracing them to the engine?

Heck were it me I would go off an accessory bracket bolt or something. Mine is just way too far forward and down to really do that.

Race Parts Solutions makes extended turbo flanges that you can bolt onto whatever bracket you make instead of welding directly to the flange. I used one and hard mounted my bracket to the frame rail.
