Good talking to you mtoday Marc. Like John mentioned, we welded in a short brace between the front primary tube on each side about straight up to the collector. Since our turbos stand about straight up it works fine.
This would also help yours but I would think there may be one needed to the turbine flange if there is a way, since yours hang out to the side and put quite a load out there.
Good Luck!!

Mike it was nice talking to you too. Thanks for your time. Here's what I came up with so far. I can't put a brace under the turbo due to upper arm clearance. Now picture the pass side bracket bolted flat to the head and the first header bolt, cut around the primary tube and bolted on the top side of the 2 turbo bolts. There would be a 90* bracket welded on to turn into the bolts if you can picture that. The drivers side would just go to the 2 bolts in the head. The bracket would be made of 1/4 steel and coated the same as the cold side tubes. Sound ok?
They do hang low due to clearance.
Update....I'm so mad...I have to install the whole system in the car again so I can mock up the bracket. I don't remember if the turbo was at 10* or 15*. If I don't get it right my down tubes won't line up. Grrrrrrr1968 Camaro Convertible. 9" rear, Caltracks, 350 , PTC 3000 stall, Custom Twin turbo built by ME.

Very nice setup. It is very similar to mine that I just finished up. I am just waiting on my carb to return from Cali. My turbos are in nearly the same locations, and I am running the same turbo setup. The only difference is I ran my into a front mount intercooler 2 to 1 and came out with one bigger pipe to carb. Check on my PT garage for pics. I am not really sure how to attach them here haha.

With that setup it will be hard to get any good vertical support as they hang out there pretty far. What you propose will help for sure.
