2012 XLT with 3.5l Ecoboost

I ordered new turbos and they came in without the lug to fasten the turbo to the engine. I don't mean the bolt, I mean the actual part of the turbo that the bolt would go through to attach the bottom/side of the turbo to the engine bracket on the block. They included a document saying that Ford no longer recommends using that fastening point and to remove the bracket from the engine. They don't point to a Ford reference to confirm this.

Knowing the history of the breaking exhaust manifold bolts I'm wanting more confirmation about this before installing them. I've found no Ford documents related to this, but I only have Google and not a trusty Ford mechanic to look it up in the Ford tech system.

Without that lower bracket the only thing holding the turbos in place is the three bolts into the exhaust manifold. With the engine doing its vibration thing and the downpipe hooked into the frame hangers, I would imagine this putting the turbos into the pivot position creating extra stress on the exhaust manifold and the turbo itself.

Has anyone seen a Ford document about this related to the 2012 model?

EDIT: Also, which way does the metal gasket for the oil line go? Ridge toward the turbo, or ridge toward the oil line?

TIA
