My Full Blown Premium stage 1 kit is installed, and will be tuned in the next week or so.

The premium kit has the V-band clamps. I'm wondering about the fact that there's no brackets, or anything supporting the turbo system. The entire system is held on the car by the header and header bolts.

I haven't seen the base kit which uses the T3 flanges where a bracket can be bolted to and whether it has a bracket or not.

My question is, is there anything to worry about on my premium kit as far as need a bracket, or something to help support the turbo system on the car? Should I look into making a support bracket?

The header is super heavy, and connected to it are the turbo, downtube, over/front pipe, wastegate, it all weighs a lot.
