Hi, i believe this is the right place to ask the question.

Would i need some type of support to hold the weight of the manifold and turbo? Are the 4g63 exhaust manifold studs very strong and able to support this type of weight? Or do i need to add more support? I'm not to familiar with how strong these studs can be and from what I hear is that a lot of dsmers have problems with the head threads stripping out.

I'm planning to make more support for it in the near future if its not as big of a deal... I have a buddy who built a similar setup on his civic and he seems to not have any problems.

I have upgraded my turbo setup :p and now it seems to be a little heavier than I imagined.

Here's a picture.
There will be a 3.5" turboback with 2x tial 38mm. not only that my h1e weights a ton and the manifold is pretty heavy also since its Sch. 10 1 1/2 inch pipe.

Any inputs are greatly appreciated! :thumb:

Yes thats alot heavier than the stock setup. No joke. : )
Try building some brackets mounted to the cartidge of the turbo, not necessarily welded on but surrounding it. so it cant really be seen from the front. I wouldnt want to weld onto that thing and ruin it </3. Good luck.
