The turbo is just hanging free in the pictures.  Sven will build a turbo
mount.  I decided to leave that to him since he knows better than I how
strong it needs to be.  For the sake of convenience, it seems that the
turbo mount might somehow tie in with the engine mount.  There are not a
lot attachment points on that side of the engine.

The reason for my asking is that I see the turbo mounting as a critical
factor in a system like this.  Usually the outside loads placed on the
pipes by weight/vibration are responsible for cracking more so than the
heat/exhaust alone.
