Thats exactly what it is.

 

brace the manifold and wastegate mount if you don't want it to break.

 

no, dont do nay of that. cut the braces off of the mani that came with it. take a piece of stainless steel and bend it so that it mounts onto the stock ac bracket mounting point, then bend it so it sits right below the turbo mounting point. get a bolt, some washers, and loctite slide the bolt in and add washers to adjust the tensikont until the bracket supports the turbo. this wiil keep stress off of the mani and allow it to thermally expand and contract, which is something that the stock ssac braces dont allow it to do

 

I am sooo glad that I showed a pic of this before I put it on. I think I am just going to try and sell it and get an LS engine and then turbo that. Oh well for a turbo now. Thanks for the help guys. Still sucks though.
