Would it be a bad idea to run turbos without the bracket that goes on the backside of the hotside of the turbo?

So basically the headers/exhaust hold in it place. Would vibration be a problem?

Thanks in advance

FWIW I have been running mine almost a year like that. Well sort of. My passenger side turbo has its mount connected, but the driver side does not. It was to tight of a fit for the driver side so we left it like that. It's been fine so far.
