Header Integrity

I got to work on my twin project a little more today, it's coming along pretty well. Anyhow, since my turbos sit on top of the headers instead hanging off the front or below the headers, I was wondering what you guys thought about bracing them since the turbos and downpipes are somewhat heavy.

Thoughts, rants, etc...

Re: Header Integrity

Sorry to hijack, but what headers are those. They seem to be exactly what i am looking for. Are they Sanderson headers?

They're made out of a set of old block huggers.

Re: Header Integrity

I'd brace them somehow, maybe to an intake bolt or something, it really couldn't hurt. SWEET looking setup though, must be nice to have the engine bay room for that.

May not need one if I mount my single turbo low and have a 90 degree elbow come off the header flange tpward the front of the car.
