I always mount the IC to the core support only. Like Darin I freak out thinking about flex cracking the IC. LOL

That's a nice turbo buddy.

I did drool for a little....I can't lie

. But I didn't get anything at all accomplished this evening. I did some other stuff when I got home from work and didn't make it out to the shop until 7:30. I came up with some pretty nice brackets to mount the IC to the core support, and while cutting them out, I broke the last blade I had for my band saw

. I did get part of the mount for the turbo cut out though. I'll finish the IC brackets at work tomorrow and have them painted and ready to bolt on when I get home from work.
