    Gen 2 MS3. Prepping a Corksport 18G turbo. Using stock manifold and HTP Underroute piping. Ive clocked the Turbo compressor, ran into issue with coolant banjo, and relocated to lower attachment port on CHRA (don't think will cause an air pocket?). Anyway, I fabbed up a crude horseshoe shaped bracket to support and align the internal WG. Just wanted some opinions on whether or not it looks okay. Its made of heavy gauge steel, I added a support in the middle (see pics) to help with deflection, but it still has a lol bit of deflection if I push by hand firmly. Do you think this will become an issue with creep or cracking too early? If I have issues, I suppose ill need to go EWG and perhaps change the CS DP I'm currently using.
    Thanks.

    I think you'll be fine. You could always put air to your wastegate actuator and see if it moves around any while it operates.
