you mite think this will not happen, beleave me it DUZZ...
The engine mounts are pretty solid, the cooler is mounted solid to the body, and the exhaust is mounted to an engine mount.
Theres not a lot of flex, and the thermal expansion of the manifold plays havoc with braces. I did look at some kind of rose joint affair and still haven't ruled it out completely.
We ran the original setup very similar to this (but smaller turbo) for some time and never had a problem.
Thanks for you concern though
