                      Made a little progres: I had the hotside welded completely so I could mount that heavy turbo on it. Now I can start mocking up the downpipe. I also recessed my radiator into the core support. Its a tight fit between the turbo to radiator and turbo to water pump but it fits.

                          Placement looks good. Are you supporting the turbo with anything other than the piping? Those guys are heavy!

                            I need to try to make some kind of a bracket to support it. Does anyone have some pics of their turbo support bracket and how they made it. I am still trying to figure where to put it.

                              We have a support in our kits that supports the turbo equally in the center off the drain. Might try something like that, works excellent for us! I didn't notice a flex section at all in your crossover so you will have to be sure to support it at the engine somewhere so the entire unit will move with the engine.
