Damn- i never had the turbo side brace- Does it mount to the underside of where the turbo mates to the manifold?
I saw two bolt holes there, and one of them has a sheared-off bolt in it.

There are two turbocharger stays, or at least, there are supposed to be. One goes between the bottom of the turbo and the engine mount, the other goes between the turbo and the head. I need both for mine as Mr Batt didn't see fit to include them when he sold me the car :/

There are actually 3 supports on the exhaust side, one on the bottom of the manifold, a lower one on the turbo (looks like the one for the intake) and an upper one that bolts to the head.

This thread got me looking around at braces and sure enough, he removed the one by the turbo as well. Looks like I'll be sourcing out 2 braces.
