bolting the turbo to the engine

[nova turbo kev]

is it a problem to make a bracket from the turbo and bolting it to the engine just so it takes the weight of the manifold cheers for looking just in case you need to no its a c20let with a t34 turbo :thumb:

where would you mount it to?

there will be issues with heat sink & vibration like on every exhaust bracket.

isn't the manifold strong enough in its own right?

im thinking of going to the engine mount or something i think it will be strong enough but i just dont want to find out its cracked after its bien out on a few good runs

Over engineering IMO....

Anyway, google search Cosworth T34 turbo damper for inspiration of the not so over engineered variety.
