It's quite common to simply hang the weight of the turbocharger on the exhaust manifold. With a tubular manifold like this, especially one made of mild steel, the combination of heat and stress very quickly leads to cracks in the manifold. We've seen mild steel turbo manifolds last less than 3,000 miles before cracking. We're hoping PTE's beefy brace that bolts the turbo flange to the block will prevent this. PTE also cleverly uses this brace to mount the wastegate actuator can.
