what turbo headers for a 318?

My set up was built using the headman block huggers and the just made a pipe off the flange on the header, runs between the mount and block and up to turbo. In this section go to page 6 and look at mad dart build. I bought the car off him but you can see how he built the set up aka my set up.

thanks!
I started going through the 70 page build thread... and for some reason the pics are all click links. I wish they just displayed.

So you have block hugger center dumps, and essentially they just route forward via normal exhaust pipe, but u have a gt45 flange mounted to the ends? I dont have a tubing bender. So if I can just swap flanges, I think I can take the bulk of the hot side fabrication out of the equation. Then I can bolt on a simple t3/4 90 degree downpipe, and have enough exhaust on it to at least get it on a trailer to have a shop do the turbo back. thats my thoughts anyways? how much bracing do you need to support the weight of the turbo? Brackets off the block?
