I wouldn't forsee a problem with constructing a rigid mount between the turbo and the downpipe as long as, like Nick said, your downpipe isn't a POS. The cracking that many people run into with tubular manifolds is the compatibility of metals being used, shitty welding, and/or the weight increase of running a larger turbo without a secondary bracing setup.
