Default GT35 Turbo brace

Sierra cosworth 2wd GT35 T4-8 T4 comp .70 A/R Turbine .96 A/R water&oil 500-600hp turbo turbocharger


I put this on my YB .
The exaust studs seem to be pulling away.
What strut brace are available.

its ridiculous.
£125 for a Rs500 damper
£125 for a spec r 4wd head conversion.
I think the turbo needs the actuater bracket fitted as well.

Yeah a hanger to support the weight it don't need a damper. Once I fitted the hanger and a new set of lock nuts I had no more trouble

sound good.
The articles are saying the hanger doesn't work.
I have just sold a bailey damper.
I need to no were it bolts onto the turbo.
I have a external wastegate on a Chinese Gt35.
It does't have the actuater bracket.
I am thinking I will have to fit a actuater bracket and order a new baileys hanger.
I am still waiting for someone to turn up and offer me a solution.

Well from experience I can tell you they do work! My turbo had no mounting point so I removed one of the plates on the back of the compressor housing that was held on with 2x 13mm bolts. I then made a new plate that had a fixing point for a small rose joint which also bolted to the hanger. The hanger helped support the weight of the turbo which took the stress off the studs and nuts and stopped them coming loose

Well that's the easy option for me.
I just sold the baileys hanger as I don't like parts pilling up in the garage.
O well least I no it'll work as that's all I want.
stop pulling studs etc out of my head.
