Default Turbo mounting pics??
Looking for some pics of how to brace or mount a turbo to prevent cracking of the headers due to the weight of the larger turbos. I remember seeing one where they used some 1/4" round bar to support the flange across the front of the chassis.

afaik this is mainly a problem for log header cars, but i believe someone made a support which braced from the turbo to the bold hols in the side of the head.
