Default Can Tial Mounted to Stock Bracket?

I read a post where someone said they had been able to secure their 38 mm Tial to the stock bracket by "rotating it 180 degrees." Can someone confirm whether this is possible. Any pictures of would be greatly appreciated. I just spent a couple hours monkeying around with my Tial and stock bracket, but couldn't figure this one out. I know most people just eliminate the bracket, but if possible, I would like to provide the added support to the assembly. Thanks

I just installed my tial and I couldn't think of any way to use the stock bracket, at least without somewhat major modification of the bracket.

I used the stock bracket in my installation. It doesn't attach to the wastegate itself, rather one bolt runs through the bracket and into the large bolt hole on the stock dump pipe. I am also running a lindsey 3" exhaust, so I don't know if that changes any of the geometry there.

I gave up on using the stock bracket, well at least for now. I have can't afford anymore side adventures - I have to start this engine soon! Everything else lined up perfectly, and seems fairly sturdy.
