And mine is all the way down here _______

Something about mounting a turbo to the timing cover makes me nervous

Lots of people just mount them to the header pipe. I don't think I'll have an issues with the header pipe and a bracket to the timing cover studs.

They hold the supercharger bridge fine.

Or I hope so anyway. 2" would be easier to work with. I may just do something super simple. Gotta get some 1-5/8 pipe first.

Thanks for the compliment, but most of my knowledge comes from trial and error and looking stuff up. My down fall is patience and persistence. Oh yea, grammar is a big pit fall too
