I was telling a mechanic of many years about this today while we were looking at the header, and he instantly saw how that support bracket could cause a gasket leak without proper installation. There's also a lot of extra weight on the header flanges due to the turbocharger hanging off of it, so it's pretty imperative that the support bracket is installed correctly.
