Default Turbo support

A question for you TT people; are your turbos supported with any bracket or are they just attached to the headers?

Actually they are held by a stainless steel bracket ("V" in shape) that bolts to the main muffler support that then bolts to the cam housing.. You can see it in the picture to the left of the turbine housing..

Politely disagree. Each turbo has one single bolt/nut at the very top. The bolt goes thru the bracket that holds the muffler bracing strap. PIA to get to, but very dooable. Are you going to remove them? Try a small mirror so you can see up in there.

EDIT: Just realize Kevin got his post in before I did. I disagree with Woodster, not Kenin

Ok, thanks guys for your help! I'm building a TT system on my 930 engine and I'm curious if I should build some bracket to support the weight of the turbos and I guess this is recommended to relieve some stress from the head-flange.
