weight of turbo on manifold

[AN89HATCH]

I just got my t-3 from a z31 300zx, and noticed it is sorta heavy, can the turbo cause cracks around the flange, do you guys support the weight some way? or will it be fine to let the manifold support the weight? btw I have a jgs log type manifold

You should be fine using a log style mani. With such short runners and a small radius plate, there isn't much tensile stress on the mani itself.

mine was perfectly fine for a year. z31 and jgs log

where did you guys get your flanges welded to your manifolds? muffler shop? if so how much did you pay?

I got mine done at a professional welding place .... dont do that, I wont even tell you how much I paid, well ...
