Haha, it is a biggin 
I will probable add a brace over to the head since the manifold on my truck is made from thinner sced 10 (1/8") SS, not like the sced 40 (3/16) steel of the manifolds on my kits. Just so it doesn't crack after time. Chris had a turbo about the same weight (about 45lbs) on his manifold and it held it just fine. I don't think it will stick though the hood, but if it does, That would be SUPER COOL!

It'll be close to the hood, but it should close just fine. A turbo blanket might not be a bad idea though so it doesn't get your paint too hot. Down pipe routing will be a challenge though.

It will fit.... trust me....
**** the down pipe is the easy part...
My hood temps have been triple digits right above the turbo.... I keep waiting to see the paint start to boil...
I would still suggest a turbo support of some form.
