    That bracket is just for holding the flange while tacking, not the actual brace.

    Thanks, he sure did. I really thought we had to cut the fender apron to fit the turbo and flange/merge.

    I did some weight comparison. The old hotside with the cast 80 weighed 79lbs. I was worried that the thick wall SS would add some weight plus the bigger t6 turbo. But the new hotside weighed in at 92lbs.

    I work for a local piping contractor here in augusta,Ga (16 years), I buy most of my ss pipe and fittings (304L & 316L grade) from a local supplier by the name of American Stainless, let me know if you need anything in the future and I can get you some good prices
