Turbo bracing

my original wagner had wastegate issues not turbo. think the gate needs a brace idealy too.

i have had no issues wit the 1 brace.

the weight of the turbo on the tubes is a long way from pivot point so to speak enhancing its weight if you get my drift. as you fit the brace you can feel the tension removed from the tubes and the turbo lifts a little too.

its a must on tubes. cast, well they sit so close to the engine you cant really get a big turbo in there. then theres the flow.

The important section os bracing is the triangulation between rocker cover and manifold...
Rosejointed bracer will allow tension to be set nicely which will remove a fair bit of the strain on the manifold.

I used 10mm round bar with a male and female rosejoint from rally design on the end.

I welded a tab onto the bolt washers that hold the turbo together.

The newer OEM mounted holsets on trucks are supported by a piece of spring steel strip from underneath against the engine block...
