    I was just curious if there was any harm in using two flex joints? As you can see in the pic the merge bolts solid to the turbo mount bracket. I had planned on putting a flex joint in between each side and the merge but ive never seen one like that. Am I asking for trouble or does it matter? The turbo is mounted solid to the chassis and the engine is solid mounted but I thought it would give me a little cushion. Any input is greatly appreciated!!

    It can't harm it, just make sure they are decent quality joints and not garbage that will break apart and clog your turbine/motor etc. So simply put, spend the money on decent ones so there is no worries. The cheap ones are the ones we see these problems happen with a lot.
