Over the alternator Y bridge?

Currently replacing my turbo on my pickup and I'm feeling like I might as well put a new Y bridge in. The factory one feels sloppy, was probably leaking under boost and probably needs the strap at least. Does anyone still manufacture an over the alt style?

Profab performance does. FYI, it's not fun to install and it's much easier to install with the valley turbo out of the way. Get the stud kit if you go with that route.

The strap was useless for me. But a long (or two) worm drive clamp around the base and catching an “ear” of the tube’s flange held me for over 45lbs for many years.

Aww hell, I was thinking just the Profab tube. I had the over the alt tube. Now I realized you’re saying the whole ybridge too. I had no luck with the studs and found it easier to reuse the factory bolts when I upgraded to the whole profab y bridge. Check the fit in the valley - mine didn’t fit and had to get another one sent that was a perfect fit. If I checked it dry first without the gasket it would have saved me a lot of aggrevation. lol
