If i missed it, I'm sorry, but I wonder how much value added there is to bolting the manifold to a third mount point that must align in a perfect plane with two other surfaces. Sure there's some additional torsional stress with the weight of the turbo but I've had motorcycle exhaust bust a mount on the can and the whole damn thing is hanging from the header. That's about 4ft of stuff hanging in the wind from the manifold bolts for unknown period of time.

R&D knows best so if there's a risk, kudos to AVO for putting it in the design.
