Turbo Hanger for Tubular Manifolds

[Sam_]

Does anyone know of any kits available for this? I imagine it really depends on the manifold being used so there won't be much. I was chatting to David at IE yesterday and he suggested making a hanger for the turbo to reduce the stress on the manifold during heat cycles. I know they're popular with the YB lot. I was thinking I could get some bosses welded to the cam cover, or try and use existing mounts.

I've bought this:
Integrated Engineering Turbo Support Bracket

Only info I could find was on vortex:
VWVortex.com - Turbo dampers GT30 tublar mani..?

Thoughts? Needed?

Bill says it all in the last link you posted

Yeah doesn't really give a solution though but it's true there's going to be movement. I think the rose jointed hanger will still allow some movement but obviously less. Haven't asked TSR yet. I guess it's not a relentless manifold after all. I just would like it to last.

support or added strain?

hanger did'nt work, as manifold expanded down and away from the head and the rose jointed hanger i made actually introduced the stress i was trying to combat

my full race uses no support

Maybe I'll just leave it then. Ah well...
