T6 front mount.....Is a brace necessary? I had posted a while back asking for pics of bracing on front mounted f-body applications. Thanks for the pics. But with my setup, I just do not see a way to add braces. Is it necessary to brace it? I am running a Borg Warner T6, solid engine mounts, with no flex couplers in the hot side.

So you're considering hanging a T6 framed turbo with no bracing to take some of the load?
I'd highly suggest bracing it to the chassis somehow, whether by welding a threaded "spud" or two to take the weight or there's numerous other ways to do it.
Without taking majority of the weight, the hot side will crack.. and quickly.
