Update.
Turbo is not seated correctly to the manifold, I need to have a spacer made as the comp. housing hits the runners, so right now there is a home made spacer placed between the manifold and turbo to get a rough estimate at how much room i have to play with before the turbo will hit the strut tower. Enjoy.

The manifold looks good, but it looks like you don't have much room between the turbo and strut tower. I hope you got some stiff motor mounts. Also might want to make a bracket or something to support that turbo if you're worried about the manifold cracking.

Looks good!
You might want to think about welding/bolting some supports on the manifold. Especially with a turbo that big. Those have been known to crack and I dont think heat treating will add any strength. People have welded nuts to a suitable area on the headers and then used some flat bar to bolt to that and then a solid part of the car/engine.
I just dont want to see your exhaust coming out from under the hood instead of the back of the car
