Brace for Manifold

[Carlwill]

So I decdied to replace my SR20DET manifold (exhaust) with an XSPOWER :sadwave: manifold. I am running a bottom mount turbo (Garrett GT2871R .64 AR) and this will bolt up to all factory T25 hardware.

My question is how can I reinforce the manifold since all the weight and heat from the turbo will eventually force the manifold to crack at the flange that connects to the head.

Can anyone offer some advice on what I can do to keep this manifold in once piece for as long as possible?

I will post pics of the manifold / turbo set up once I am home.
