Always a good idea to have a brace on the turbo if possible. Usually it seems the tubing and/or welds crack from the weight, plus heat cycling and vibration. When the turbo is further out location-wise it gets tougher to design a brace. I will tackle this when I get my front drive and can see what mounting options are left.
I did find some universal brace pieces on Google:
